It's Otis Spunkmeyer Cookie Time!
The McKenny PTO is again hosting its annual fundraiser to support PTO programs and projects for our students. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year to raise money for all of the events, programs and other “extras” the PTO provides for the school. This year, we’re asking McKenny families to get involved in one of two ways: through the purchase of Otis Spunkmeyer cookies OR by simply donating money to the McKenny PTO. Your contributions will help us fund things like visits from the Missoula Children’s Theater and a part-time reading instructor to help students improve their reading skills.
This year we are also hoping to raise enough money to also purchase two new items for the school. The first item on our wish list is a defibrillator machine. Defibrillators have been known to save lives in the event of Sudden Cardiac Arrest in children and adults (read more about the Seattle program at www.heartofseattleschools.org/). The second wish list item – an upgraded sound system – will better help our assemblies come alive for students and visitors alike.
Information packets were distributed to students on Jan. 27. We appreciate every donation – whether through the purchase of cookies or a personal check/cash. All monies/sales forms must be returned to the school by Wednesday, Feb. 8. Cookies and other Otis products will be delivered by March 15. For questions about Otis Spunkmeyer orders, please contact PTO Vice President Michelle Johnson at 943.0637. For general PTO or fundraising questions, contact PTO President Jocelyn McCabe at 456.2186 or jmccabe34@hotmail.com.THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING YOUR MCKENNY PTO!
