McKinley PTA
Recent ActivityThe purpose of the PTA is to build strong connection between school and home in order to support the education of our children. It is a very active group and we encourage everyone to join. The membership fee is only $10 (forms are distributed at the beginning of the school year and are available in the school office). You do not have to join in order to participate. While often it seems that the PTA is synonymous with fundraising, our PTA also organizes and hosts many social and educational events.
