Ongoing Events and Opportunities
Happiness is Having the Next Snack Prepared...
Please help keep our McPolin students fueled up and focused!
The PTO sponsors fresh snacks for the entire school on Tuesdays & Thursdays, but we need your help to provide additional healthy snacks for your classrooms on Mondays & Wednesdays!
Ideal Snacks:
Fresh & healthy options like mandarins, apples, pretzels, or goldfish.
We are steering away from individual packaging to decrease waste.
Please be sure to check in with your child's teacher for allergy restrictions!

RECYCLING
McPolin Green Recycling Team is led by fifth-graders. These kids are working to raise awareness, educate, and take action to support our planet!
COMPOSTING
In partnership with EATS & Momentum Recycling, McPolin is tackling food waste diversion!
Bins will be placed in the cafeteria, and, with the help of school staff & volunteers, students will empty food waste in the large green compost bins. This will divert all of their food waste from the landfill to a local farm!
