McKinley has been awarded a School Climate State Grant in the amount of $5,000. This grant supports 360 public and charter school buildings in the statewide implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports frameworks, evidence- and/or research-based social and emotional learning initiatives, or both. Our grant was written to support the expansion of the Zones of Regulation social thinking curriculum, teacher training, and resources for the 2019-2020 school year.

Even after the noon rush that saw about 70 people come through the McKinley Elementary School gym April 6, there was still plenty of clothing and other items available for those in need.
It’s a testament to the close-knit, caring community of Fairport Harbor, Amy Neff said.
Neff, who collected many of the donations herself, said she didn’t have any trouble finding people to donate. It was harder getting them to stop, she joked.
With people doing some spring cleaning, Neff thought it was a good time to hold a clothing distribution and put items no longer needed in their current home to good use.
All sorts of clothing were available at the four-hour event at the elementary school, from baby clothes to professional attire for adults. Additionally, toys, handbags, jewelry, and other items were available for those in need free of charge.
Amy Neff of Feeding Fairport's Hungry joked that it was harder to get people to stop donating than it was getting them to give. Feeding Fairport's Hungry collected clothing and other items like toys and handbags for a distribution held April 6 at McKinley Elementary School.
It was the first clothing drive held by Feeding Fairport’s Hungry, a group that Neff started. It began near the beginning of the school year, in early September when hot weather canceled school. For some children, school lunch is their only meal of the day. She and others in the community wanted to ensure those students got the meals they needed.
In just two days after forming, the group dropped off its first-rounds of snacks for McKinley Elementary students and raised more than $100 for past-due lunch accounts for students across the district.
A food drive was held to help 11 Fairport Harbor families provide Thanksgiving meals.
At the clothing distribution, the group also collected non-perishable food items for local food banks and student snacks as well as collected money for the lunch accounts.
Thank you Scott Hribar!

Mrs. Toomey the high school art teacher collaborated with Susan Johnson/Lynch a local author who is writing a children's (7) book series called "Needs a Home". The basis of the series is that there were 7 animals in her life that needed homes so she adopted them as pets. The stories are fun and described the animals' personalities but they also teach the responsibilities of how to care for them. Susan chose 8 students' artwork to be in her books that should be released next year. These student's names will be acknowledged in the book credits and the students can include this publication on their resumes when they graduate. Congratulations to:
Maarika Haller, Matthew Oravecz, Jennifer Soria, Tierny Degidio, Morgan Braemer, Kiki Dambolena, Shyli Gibney and Kaylynn Clasing. Susan stated Kaylynn Clasing had the most illustrations chosen and her professional quality drawings included all 7 of the animals. Susan also mentioned how much she liked Tyler Clasing's sheep drawing, and she may end up using it!
Thank you to all students who participated and Mrs. Toomey for coordinating this opportunity for our students. Look for "Needs a Home" children's book series by Susan Johnson/Lynch next year.

The Fair Poet Assembly for the Spring Contest took place on May 14, 2019. This was the 5th Fair Poet awards ceremony. Fair Poet has become more than we could have imagined when we started this contest in 2017. What started as originally a celebration of the study of poetry in our schools quickly became an avenue to celebrate creative expression in its many forms. Students, parents, staff, and administrators in attendance each heard poems from a group of students who all walk different paths in life, but whose creative purpose was unified through poetry. Those in attendance enjoyed various musical performances from the band, and many artists and writers were also honored at the assembly.
For more details please visit FHEVS.org, Activities, Fairpoet
Prom was held at the Holiday Inn, Mentor Ohio, on May 11, 2019.
Everyone looked amazing.
Special thank you to Wendy Sharpe & The Junior Class for making it a night to remember!
