We love our counselor, Mrs. Hayes! She visited our first graders to read a story and share some "power tools" for communication. Our students are learning to solve problems with their words and not their hands!
Minshew STUCO Seeing a Need, Taking Action!
Our Student Council noticed some fellow Colts struggling with their laces, so they stepped up to help! Stuco hosted a Shoe Tying Clinic to provide peer coaching before the bell rang.
Leadership is all about identifying a need and filling it. We are so proud of these students for helping their classmates gain confidence and independence.

5th Grade Research Mode: ACTIVATED These students have been working super hard on researching in Social Studies!
New worlds, old favorites, and everything in between. Our 5th graders took over the library, diving into their favorite graphic novels and mysteries. There’s no sound quite like the "quiet hum" of students falling in love with a good book!
Spring break is March 16th to 20th! We will see you on March 23rd!
We wanted to say a huge thank you to our incredible maintenance team! They are the first ones here, the last to leave, and the reason our classrooms are bright, our playgrounds are safe, and everything works the way it should.
To show our appreciation, we cooked them up a stack of fresh pancakes this morning!
Please join us in thanking this dedicated crew for all the hard work they do behind the scenes. We appreciate you!

Who says recess has to be outdoors to be great?

Our students loved visiting their buddies today to share some Read Across America magic.
Our 2nd graders are proving that one person's recycling bin is another person's art studio. They explored conservation by giving everyday objects a second life. Check out these incredible masterpieces!
We want to extend a huge thank you to all the wonderful guest readers who joined us for Read Across America! Our students absolutely loved having our parents, community members, school board members, central office staff, and Mayor Bill Cox share their time and favorite stories to create memories that will truly last a lifetime. Seeing so many familiar faces in our classrooms was such a treat, and we are so grateful for your help in inspiring a lifelong love of reading. Thank you all for being such amazing role models and for showing our students that the entire McKinney community is cheering them on.
