McAvinnue's Morning Announcements

Returning by popular demand...McAvinnue's Morning Announcements are back! Last school year, we needed to create a way to launch each day at McAvinnue...together as one school even with some of our students learning in-person and some of our students learning remotely outside of the school.

We created a virtual version of morning announcements...and our students really enjoyed them! So, we are bring this back for this school year with a few adjustments. We will be featuring McAvinnue's Morning Announcements on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week. On Tuesday and Thursday, we will conduct Open Circle lessons. These lessons in this program focus on social emotional development and community building for our students.

It seems that this is the best of both worlds! We have lrecently aunched this new format...and our students have communicated how much they really enjoy this new format!

Check out the most recent edition of McAvinnue's Morning Announcements below! You can also watch them with your child on our YouTube channel using this link:

McAvinnue's "Trunk Or Treat" Celebration

Please join us for McAvinnue's "Trunk Or Treat" Celebration! Due to COVID-19, we needed to make some adjustments to ensure that we are keeping everyone as safe as possible. So, we came up with a fun and new way to welcome in Fall and the spooky season!

On Thursday, October 28th from 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM, you can come to St. Rita's Church rear parking lot (directly across from McAvinnue), for some costume and candy fun!

This event is free of charge! All you need to do is come by with your costume on, bring a bag for treats, and we will do the rest! You will have a chance to walk through a maze of cars that will each have a special treat for you!

We are limiting the number of people that can come to 2 additional family members per student.

We are super excited for this new event at McAvinnue! We hope that everyone makes the time to come by!

Candy Donations Needed!

We are still accepting candy donations for McAvinnue's "Trunk Or Treat" Celebration on Thursday, October 28th.

Any and all donations will really help us offer a treat to everyone that is planning this exciting event for the McAvinnue Community. We will take small, medium, and large bags of candy. However, we really LOVE the super extra large bags of candy!

You can have your child bring in the bag of candy and they can drop it off in the Main Office. You can also stop by the school and drop off your candy donation with Ms. Anna...McAvinnue's amazing school clerk!

Thank you in advance for support McAvinnue is this really exciting and new event for our students and families!

McAvinnue's Yoga Pose Of The Week

We will try a new pose this week called the "Peace Crawl"! This new pose will allow us to improve our balance by integrating movements that will enhance coordination while building our brain development. We will practice the "Peace Crawl" pose daily during our "Virtual" Morning Announcements during this up and coming week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

You can get an early head start and practice this technique before we launch into another exciting week!

McAvinnue's Parent / Teacher Group (PTG) Meeting

We are looking to rebrand McAvinnue Parent Teacher Group (PTG) and we need your help to get thing off the ground this school year!

One of the strengths of McAvinnue over the years has been its parent and family support! From attending amazing events, donating funds for various school activities, and your recent partnership with our teachers last school year when things were less than normal for everyone. Your support for McAvinnue is at an all time high!

We want to use this energy to reform McAvinnue's Parent Teacher Group....also known as McAvinnue's PTG!

Come out on Wednesday, October 27th at 6:00 PM to learn more about the PTG and to begin to plan for another awesome year for our students at McAvinnue. All parents and caregivers are welcome to attend!

This event will be "virtual" and conducted using the Zoom Meeting platform.
