Dear McKelvie Families~

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and can enjoy some time outside!

Important Dates:
9/13/21-School Picture Day
10/11/21-No School: Columbus Day
10/12/21-No School: Teacher Workshop Day

Clubs:
Next week I will be emailing families a link to all of the clubs that are going to be offered this year.  The link will include descriptions of each club as well as the day/time each one runs. Club signups will go out Thursday night at 7pm. 

McKelvie School Picture Day:
Monday, September 13th is school picture day!  Please click HERE for the Geskus flyer to order school photos!

Masks on the Bus:

As a reminder, per CDC order, all students riding the school bus are required to wear a mask. The bus drivers have a limited number of masks to give to students and it would be helpful for all students to bring their own masks.

Library News:
It was another busy week at the McKelvie Intermediate School Library! We have now successfully had all fourteen fifth grade classes come to the library for a "Good Fit Books" introduction. Please click HERE to link to the Library Blog Post for this short week. Happy weekend! ~Julie Cote 

PTG Principal Notes:

We couldn’t do it without your continued support.
