President's Message

McKillop families,

What an exciting week! We’ve officially launched Boosterthon! Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve raised over $9,000 toward our $40,000 goal, and the rocket on our fundraising chart is climbing higher each day.

This program is about more than just raising funds. It’s about building school spirit, encouraging teamwork, and showing our students that when we’re curious and committed, we can achieve amazing things together.

As we continue through Boosterthon, let’s keep cheering on our kids, sharing their Booster pages, and spreading the excitement. Every pledge helps fuel their mission and brings us closer to reaching our goal. Together, we can make this an unforgettable experience for our students and our school.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm! You are what makes our community so strong!

Warmly,

Katy Vendetti, PTO President

Events & Spirit Nights

🚀 Boosterthon Has Launched! 🚀

Today was Program Day 1, and our theme is all about Curiosity! Students are kicking off their Space Quest adventure, learning that curiosity fuels discovery, innovation, and big dreams.

Here’s a fun fact to share with your student:
🌌 Did you know the NASA Mars Rover, Curiosity, was named by a 6th grader from Kansas? It’s true! Kids can do BIG things, just like making a difference in our school community!

We’ve already raised over $9,000 toward our $40,000 goal, and the rocket is on its way up the chart. Thank you for helping us blast off!

Every donation, big or small, helps our school reach new heights. Share your student’s Booster page with friends and family to keep the momentum going.
