Sharing Committee 2021

Share the Warmth

We are extending our cold weather item drive by one week!
Bins will remain outside McKenzie through 10/29.

Carman-Buckner students are especially in need of the following items:

·      Hats & Gloves (youth sizes small-large)

·      Snow pants (youth sizes small-XL)

·      Winter boots (youth sizes little kid 10- big kid 7)  

Share the Feast & Share the Joy:

We are collecting funds to support the purchase of grocery store gift cards and toys to help make the holidays a bit brighter for our friends at Carman-Buckner. 


Sadly, the CB social work team recently learned that they will no longer receive seasonal support from a foundation they had partnered with for many years.
McKenzie’s help this year is more important than ever!

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Order your Child’s Birthday Book today!

We’re bringing back another McKenzie tradition: Birthday Books! Click here to order yours today!

If you and your child love books, enjoy making birthdays special, and want to help the school library grow, please donate the average cost of a new book ($20) to the McKenzie Learning Commons.

Your child can choose a brand new book from those selected by the librarian. Your child will be the first to check the book out; it will be dedicated with your child’s name, birthday, and year of donation; and the librarian will recognize their birthday. Summer birthdays are celebrated as half birthdays, and September birthdays will be celebrated ASAP. This is a great way to show your child the value you place on reading and education. Questions? Contact Alexis Hubbard: lexihub@gmail.com
