Hello Fourth Grade Parents,

It’s hard to believe that our Cheetahs are in their final year at McKenzie! We have MANY special events planned for May and June of this year to honor our students – and we need your help to make them happen!

Please review the events on the right side of this page and sign-up to volunteer for the Gillson Beach Evening Scavenger Hunt and/or the Fourth Grade Farewell.

Questions? Contact Kim Quigley or Kristen Kwasnick.

Additional details and reminders will be shared via email and WhatsApp.

Thank you,

The Fourth Grade Farewell Committee

    • Includes lunch, a slide show, a craft, and a fair with bounce house, dunk tank, DJ, and photo booth for all 4th graders!

    • Note: In addition to specific volunteer roles, we have created a large number of floater positions so parents can see their kids (similar to field day).  The only way to come see your kid at the fair will be as a registered volunteer.

    • All 4th grade parents are invited to celebrate the 4th graders by "clapping them out" as they leave McKenzie for the last time

    • School dismissal is at 11:55 am; 4th graders will be dismissed just after other grades exit the front of the school to go to car line

    • Note: if you have younger children, we recommend telling them to exit the front of the school as if they are going to car line so that you can meet them in front without missing the clap out
