Dear McNamara Families,

We had a terrific time at our Trunk or Treat on Saturday! Thank you to the PTA for organizing such a fun event, and for all of the families that joined us.

Some families have begun to let the office know about changes to their students' dismissal on Friday, October 31. Please complete the Attendance/Dismissal Change form linked below if your child will be getting picked up early or dismissing differently than normal. If you already know about a change, feel free to complete the form earlier in the week so that the office can begin organizing the information!

November is just around the corner. Scroll down to view information about two upcoming events:

November 5 - McNamara Community Cafe

November 10 - Veterans Day Assembly

Have a great week,

Mindy Howard

Principal - McNamara Elementary School

Socktober

During the month of October, all of our schools will be participating in SockTober. We will be collecting new socks for donation to PEACE Inc. in Baldwinsville. SockTober is a nationwide movement to help those in need by providing one of the most requested but often overlooked items – socks! Each school will be accepting new socks of all kinds, including those for men, women, children and babies. Every pair makes a difference in keeping someone warm this season.

Our district goal is 25,000 socks!

Socks collected at McNamara: 381 pairs
