SUBJECT: February Updates from the PTO

Weekly Newsletter - February 4, 2026
President's Message

Hey McKillop Families,

After last week’s ice storm and four unexpected days off campus, we’re so glad to be back together and moving forward into February. The weather also forced us to cancel our parent informational meeting, but we hope to have it rescheduled soon and will share details as soon as we can. 

We’re in the final days of our Staff Luncheon Fundraiser, which helps us continue showing appreciation to our teachers and staff through the rest of 2026. Any level of support truly makes a difference. You’ll also find Birdie Bucks opportunities in this newsletter. Thank you for supporting a program our students love!

We appreciate your flexibility during the weather disruptions and your continued support of our PTO. Here’s to a smooth and productive February ahead.

With Gratitude,           

Katy Vendetti, PTO President

Announcements
Staff Luncheon Fund

Thank you to everyone who has donated to our Staff Luncheon Fund! 

As a reminder, instead of monthly or grade-level asks, we are making one annual ask in January to help fund staff appreciation meals and treats for January–April and September–November. After this month, we will not ask again until next January, regardless of how much is raised.

So far, $1,987.32 has been raised (about $280 per month). A full staff luncheon for our approximately 100 staff members typically costs $750–$1,000, so if funds are limited, room parents will pivot to other types of treats.

The suggested donation was $20 per child, but any amount is appreciated. Every dollar goes directly toward thanking our staff for all they do. The last day for donations will be this Friday, February 6, 2026.
