Dear McKelvie Families ~
It feels like we have hit a heat wave recently. I hope this has not interrupted your winter sledding and ski activities. I must say that I have enjoyed the warm-up! As usual, your children are doing incredible things at McKelvie! I will be highlighting specifics in the next few weeks. Below are the notes for this week:
NO SCHOOL
Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 16th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

New McKelvie Signage
After receiving feedback that finding the Main Entrance can be a challenge, we finally installed a sign at McKelvie! A BIG thank you to Guidance Secretary, Leanne Gould for acting as “Project Manager” for us. Click HERE or drive by to check it out! Funds from last year’s school directory were used to help make this happen.
Grade 6 Families - Save the Date!

6th to 7th Parent Move Up Night: May 25, 6PM in the RAL Dining Hall
Yearbook - NOTICE
Please be aware that the Yearbook Club will be using photos of all students for our 2016/2017 yearbook. If you do not want your child's photo in the yearbook, please email one of our advisors, Susan Cavanaugh (cavanaughs@sau25.net) or Deb Kelly (kellyd@sau25.net). Otherwise, every child gets in the yearbook.
Earbud Purchase Option
With the introduction of 1:1 Chromebooks this year, students were asked to bring in a pair of inexpensive headphones/earbuds to leave at school. Because many students have forgotten to bring them in, they will now have an option to purchase a pair of inexpensive earbuds (similar in quality to what you would purchase on a plane) from the library for $1.
Have a great weekend,
