President's Message

Hey McKillop Families,

Welcome back, Cardinals! January is bringing a lot of great momentum as we kick off the new semester together. We’re excited to share ways to stay connected and involved...from meaningful conversations through the Sit With Us program, to continued transparency with our posted budget and meeting minutes. 

This month also includes a fun Spirit Night at Mountain Mike’s Pizza and the launch of our Birdie Bucks Store in its new space, an we need volunteers to help make earning rewards a fun, positive experience for our students. As always, thank you for reading, sharing, and helping our Cardinal community grow. 

With Gratitude,           

Katy Vendetti, PTO President

Announcements
McKillop Sit With Us in January

Sit With Us meetings provide parents/guardians with an opportunity to come together and discuss ideas, concerns, and potential solutions regarding matters at Melissa Schools. The philosophy of Sit With Us is that Melissa parents are Cardinal Champions who seek the best for not only their students but for all students. If it matters to one Cardinal, it matters to all Cardinals. 

The next Sit With Us Meeting will be on January 21, 2026 at 8:30am in the cafeteria! Come meet and chat with the admin!
