I will make registration packets available to students starting Monday Feb 3, 2020 but you can also access all the required information by clicking on the link below.
ALSO!! Great news - our local Lake County Chapter of JUST RUN has officially obtained non-profit status! That means more fundraising opportunities and program expansion. If you or someone you know would like to DONATE to this awesome organization, I will be posting about how to do that very soon!

Mrs.Slovenkay- Mrs. Slovenkay is excited to announce that a project she submitted to Donors Choose has been fully funded, thanks to several community members and a corporate match sponsorship through Lockheed Martin.

The materials will arrive in January and the fifth graders will be utilizing them for their inquiry into how light travels and its effect on life on Earth. THANK YOU to everyone that helped spread the word and a special shout-out to those that donated to make this project possible.

McKinley second grade students held their annual "Living Museum" in celebration of the end of their Unit of Inquiry on Where We Are in Place & Time. As you can see the students dressed as the significant person they researched. They did an amazing job imitating statues until museum visitors "pushed their buttons" for the presentation. It was a wonderful day full of visits from Alexander Graham Bell, Sacajawea, Jane Goodall, Babe Ruth, Georgia O'Keeffe, Abraham Lincoln, Nikola Tesla and many more.
