We are the Minshew Colts
We always do our best.
We never use put-downs.
We're up above the rest.
We listen attentively.
We talk respectfully.

MESSAGE FROM MRS. LARRIVIERE
Minshew Families -
Mishew celebrated our 20th anniversary Friday morning with a school wide assembly. Minshew’s first principal, Mrs. Woodard came to visit our campus and share her experiences with opening Minshew with over 700 students! She shared that the community, families, staff members, and students came together just days before the first day of school to help deliver all of the supplies and furniture to the correct classrooms. I think the community coming together set the foundation for our wonderful campus community as being one big family.
We will continue the celebration of our campus on Friday, November 15th with the PTA Carnival that was rescheduled due to rain. Rescheduling a large event is never easy, and I truly appreciate the many hours that our fabulous PTA has put into planning this fun event for our school community! I hope your family is able to come out and join us as we continue the tradition of our community coming together.
Go Colts!
Jennifer Larriviere, Principal

MacTown Miracles: A District-Wide Community Effort
MacTown Miracles is a heartwarming district-wide initiative supported by all three McKinney ISD high school student councils. Students from McKinney North, Boyd, and McKinney High will be collecting donations to provide approximately 700 holiday meal kits for local families in need.
Each McKinney ISD school, including Minshew Elementary, has been asked to contribute specific items to help make this project a success. Minshew will have donation boxes available in the front lobby starting Thursday, November 14th. Our school has been assigned to collect canned corn and canned green beans. We are grateful for your support in this meaningful effort.
If you would like to participate, please send in your donations of canned corn and green beans starting on November 14th. All donated items will be picked up from our campus by December 18th.
Thank you for helping make the holidays brighter for families in our community!
