McKenzie Parent Teacher Association
Registration for DI is now open!
Destination Imagination (DI) is a creative problem-solving competition for kids grades K-12 that focuses on teamwork, communication, strategic thinking, creativity, and other 21st century skills. Teams meet once a week from November through February and will participate in the regional tournament on Saturday, February 8th in Wilmette, IL.
Yearbook Cover Contest starts now! All McKenzie students are invited to draw their favorite representation of what McKenzie means to them for the yearbook. Entries are due to your teacher or the front office by October 1. You can get templates in your child’s classroom, at the front desk or by clicking here. Questions, please contact stafford.sarah@gmail.com.
We provide the lesson plans and materials, and you present to your child’s classroom. There will be two art projects per class (requiring 3 volunteers each) this year.
Orientation meeting: Monday, Sept 16 at 8:45 am in the auditorium
