FunDrive is a fantastic fundraiser McKenny participates in a few times a year. Our first event this year will be on Jan 9th. We will collect gently used items at McKenny from 10-1230 and then with the help of a few volunteers with large vehicles - we will caravan to Lacey Value Village to make our donation. Our school earns more funds for soft goods like clothing. Check out the details here: https://fundrive.savers.com/e/mckennyptofundrive
Start cleaning out your clutter now, but save it for 1/9/21, please!
A message regarding Holiday assistance
Hello McKenny Community,
We are aware that the Holiday Season may present financial burdens for some of our McKenny families. We wanted to remind you that if you are needing assistance during this time (help with groceries, rent, utilities, supplies, etc.) you can fill out this short request form and we will get back to you promptly.
Additionally, if you would like to help directly support families within our own McKenny community, please fill out this short donation form. There are a variety of ways to donate. For those wishing to donate electronically, please view our Sunshine Fund information on the PTO website at http://www.mckennypto.org/. Cash, check, or gift card donations can be turned in to the office in an envelope marked PTO Sunshine Fund. Checks should be made out to McKenny PTO, with Sunshine Fund marked in the memo line. All funds directly support McKenny families.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Holiday Season.
Sincerely,
Your McKenny PTO
