Our Kindergarteners had a special trip to the museum last week where they played for hours, both inside and outside! If you listen closely, you might even be able to hear some of the giggles in each photo.. from the adults too! 🥰
This field trip specifically was made possible through the Educational Passport Program, a partnership with Erie Arts and Culture, United Way of Erie County, and Erie's Public Schools where each grade level is teamed up with a local art agency for both in school visits and field trips.
Thanks so much for having us!

Students were invited to write kind messages to teachers and staff members, expressing appreciation for what they do and the positive impact they have on others. The wall serves as a beautiful reminder of the power of kindness, gratitude, and the strong sense of community within our school.
It's also a beautiful reminder that sometimes a rainbow will appear after a storm! 💙

We love having so many friends from the community come visit us!
Remember, if you need dental products you can always contact Ms. Grande or Nurse Lindsay!

And of course our work was reward with a very delicious lunch of either chicken fingers or hamburgers!
Thanks so much for having us!!

We hope you have a relaxing time away. See you on April 7th!
This month's winners played an egg swap dice game and got to go home with the special prizes inside their egg. In true Mariner fashion, some of our students even decided to share a portion of their prizes with each other.
Way to go, kiddos!!

Later this week, students will test their windbreak designs against strong winds (a hair dryer 😉)!
We love to see the hands on, teamwork happening at McKinley!

Students from our Creator's Club and ANCHOR after school programs created beautiful artwork all year long with our friends from Anansi to have on display at the art gallery. We also had wonderful music from Mambo, henna demonstrations, the Old Songs New Opportunities program taught us new songs, and we can't forget the yummy treats from Casa Café!
Events like these are made possible through our community school funding provided by United Way of Erie County and the volunteers from Women United and our very own McKinley staff!
Thanks to all who came to celebrate with us!

Our Second Graders traveled down The Oregon Trail for their Westward Expansion unit. Each story had a different representation and part of the trail and students either wrote facts about what happened during that part of the journey, or drew a picture!
Good news-- We all made it down the trail, even after some harsh weather and limited food supply-- if you know, you know! 😉
Pre-K completed their our month long marathon of We LOVE Reading by inviting the Early Childhood Education class from Erie High to join them as guest readers.
We had so many Royals participating, that our Pre-K extended the invitation to our Kindergarten and First grade classrooms as well.
Check out all the smiles and learning that took place here at McKinley!
