5th/6th Grade Fundraisers - Wawa and TRIOS!

We hope everyone had a fun and relaxing winter break! Thank you to all of the families that dined at Iron Hill in December and spread the word to their friends and family.  

We have a new restaurant fundraiser this month - TRIOS!  Order from the Elkins Park Trios (939 Township Line Rd, 215-377-9009) on Wednesday, January 12th anytime between 10:30 AM - 9:00 PM to support our kids. Just mention McKinley when you place your order (https://www.triostomatopie.com/elkinspark/#location). See flyer.

And we're still selling Wawa shorti vouchers for $5, which make great gifts for friends and family (think of coaches and anyone you want to say thanks to). Just fill out a Google form, https://tinyurl.com/299khjv9, and send payment into school in an envelope labeled Wawa voucher or Venmo Sarina Breen @mckinley5thand6thfundraising (https://venmo.com/u/mckinley5thand6thfundraising).  See flyer.

Please share information about Wawa and Trios with friends and family (near and far for Wawa -- vouchers are valid at any Wawa location).  Thank you for your continued support!

If you have any questions, please contact Michele Cooper (mcooperdesign@yahoo.com) or Tara Eng (tlengva@yahoo.com).
