McKinley Elementary School "Home of the Mariners"

McKinley families - a reminder that our friends at the Mercy Center have a food pantry running all summer long.

🍎 Here are the dates and times for this week's distributions.
Remember to use the entrance at the 27th street parking lot and bring your photo ID and grocery bags.

The last week of school was spent celebrating all that our students have accomplished! From grade level field days and picnics, to glow parties, to our 5th Grade promotion ceremony, we couldn't be more proud of our Mariners!

Thank you to all of our families, staff, and students for making this a great year!

To our wonderful 5th Graders moving on to middle school next year, remember once a Mariner, always a Mariner! The middle schools are lucky to have you! Come visit us anytime!

Have a wonderful and safe summer!😎

Check out this great opportunity from out friends at PLAYtime through the Erie Playhouse! The sessions will be held at the ECAT building. All details are on the flyer below!

McKinley Families: Wednesday is the last day of school and an early dismissal at 1:00 p.m.

If your student rides a bus home, they will arrive to their stop approximately 90 minutes earlier than their usual time.

Our 5th Grade Captains got to spend the day at the 3rd Annual Community Schools Leadership Retreat earlier this week, hosted by the United Way of Erie County and the Community School Directors at all 17 community schools across the county!

We spent the day learning from community leaders and playing a series of team building games alongside 250 student leaders! McKinley's Captains is one of the largest groups of leaders from any of the schools!

We are so proud of our 5th Graders for all the work they have done to set a great example of what it means to be here, safe, and kind everyday. This is just the start of their leadership journey for our Captains as they get ready to head off to middle school soon!

We know you're already great, so go be even greater! ⚓

Students in Mrs. Peterson's class made constellations out of pretzels and marshmallows as part of a Science lesson this week. Can you guess which constellation they made?

Our Third Graders have had a great time being a part of the Educational Passport Program through a collaboration with Erie Arts and Culture, United Way of Erie County and Erie's Public Schools!

Third Grade's community partner is the Hagen History Center! We had an in school visit with Mr. Adam who showed us some cool artifacts and then we got to explore the history center last week, which connected directly to our curriculum this year!

We really had a great time learning about Erie's history! Thanks for having us!

Mrs. Wieser's First Graders are over here looking for summer break like.... 👀😆

Okay, actually, the students were observing the location of the sun as part of their science unit! More daylight = closer to summer break!

Don't forget we have a LOT of fun activities planned for the last few days of school, so be sure to be here everyday! The last day of school for students is Wednesday, June 3rd!

Friendly reminder there's no school tomorrow! See you Tuesday!
