When most of us grew up, music, art, and field trips were a regular part of our school experience. Not anymore. Did you know the school district provides $0 to provide music programs (other than the Fifth Grade instrumental program), art programs, assemblies, and field trips? The McKinley PTC raises about $50,000 per year to fund weekly music classes, ceramics classes, buses for field trips, and school assemblies.
It costs about $130 per student to provide these great programs. We know that many people are struggling in this economy, so we sponsor a variety of events/drives to reach out to friends, extended families, and neighbors to help raise this money.
Write a check: If you can, please write a check today – a contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250, or more would be greatly appreciated (make checks payable to McKinley School Foundation). If you can’t give a lot now, can you commit to $10, $25, $50 a month? Think of all that money you are saving on daycare, and all of your donations are a tax write off.
