McKitrick Elementary

Congratulations 🎉 to our 5th grade Girl Scout Troop!
Kind words from their Troop Leader, Mrs. Hudson 😊

We are proud to announce that the girls of Troop 32336 earned their Bronze Award this year. Many thanks to McKitrick's administration, 3rd/4th/5th grade teachers, and parents who helped make our troop's Need a Minute Kit a reality. We couldn't have done it without your support.

Summer Reading at the Public Library!

📚⚽ The Rowdies Summer Reading Program: Score Through Stories launches next week!

Summer reading is a great way for students to stay engaged, build confidence, and prevent summer learning loss while school is out. Through this fun program, students can read all summer long and earn prizes from local libraries and Great Explorations Children’s Museum — with the grand prize being TWO tickets to a Tampa Bay Rowdies match! 🎉

Check out the graphic and scan the QR code for details on how to participate. 💚💛

Keep the learning going all summer long by encouraging your child to read every day!

Reading just a little bit each day helps students stay sharp, build vocabulary, and get ready for a strong start to the new school year.
✅ Set aside 20 minutes a day for reading
✅ Let your child choose books they love
✅ Visit your local library for free books and programs
✅ Make reading part of your daily routine
Whether it’s at the beach, before bed, or on a rainy afternoon—every page counts! 📖💙
These are some great activities and challenges to participate in during the summer-a paper copy of this flyer will be coming home with your child.

We celebrated two incredible events this week! Patrols had their End of Year Banquet and it was filled with dancing, eating, and awards, truly a night to remember! Kindergarten performed their musical program and what a spectacular show! There was laughter, smiles and a tear or two, a truly unforgettable experience! Off to first grade they go, with memories to cherish! Lots of hard work and planning made for truly unforgettable evenings!

You never know who Nurse Tammy will have to see in the clinic! We are grateful that she is so caring, loving, and awesome at her job! Wishing her a fabulous Nurse's Day! 💙🐾

It's been an uplifting few days on campus! We celebrated students' remarkable growth in various categories with a popcorn treat after lunch! We had an extraordinary Mu Mu Monday and brought back the vibrant Mrs. Roper vibe! And today we celebrated one of our teachers passing her citizenship test! We gathered as a family to pay tribute to Mrs. Chisholm's husband, who has recently passed and was a beloved part of our Bobcat Family. Even some heartwarming puppy love was shared! It truly takes a compassionate village to educate and raise our students! We've demonstrated the unwavering love of our village this week! 💙🐾

Happy Principal Appreciation Day! 🎉

Thank you for your leadership, dedication, and the countless ways you support students, teachers, and families every single day. Your guidance helps shape not just a school, but a community—and that impact reaches far beyond the classroom.

We appreciate your hard work, your heart, and your commitment to making a difference. 💙📚

Some wicked competition this week on the court as the 4th and 5th grades competed in the 4 Square Tournament. Lots of cheering, good sportsmanship and of course crowns! 👑
Thanks to Robert Hudson for the amazing action shots! 📸
