McKinley Cookbook

The McKinley school community is creating a cookbook and we need your favorite recipes!  Recipes can be submitted here: https://forms.gle/oTsqHzDzSD8suher8 Instructions are included in the form. Anyone in the McKinley school community - families, students, teachers, staff, administrators - are welcome and encouraged to submit recipes. The deadline to submit recipes is Wednesday, March 16th.

If you would like to also purchase a cookbook, the purchase link can be found here: https://forms.gle/xMjSKFdzG1JB7fdG8 We anticipate that cookbooks will be delivered the first week of May; we will update you on that as we receive information from the publisher.

Information regarding a student artwork contest for the cookbook will be coming shortly.
