PTSA Events
Back to Business
|
![]() Back to Business is typically held the week before school starts. Its purpose is to get all of that start-of-the-year paperwork done and out of the way before the first day of school, eliminating (well, almost, but not entirely) the use of classroom time getting school portraits taken, transporting all of that required paperwork home and back again, and writing separate checks for pictures, spirit wear, yearbook orders, and/or your PTSA membership. School portraits are taken during Back to Business by Dorian Studio. (Should you and your child miss the Back to Business event, portrait makeup day occurs September 11th.)

Challenger Chase
Fun Run |
It's our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year and one of our biggest EVENTS of the year! First, students collect pledges from family, friends, neighbors, and the community. Then they commit to run (or walk) 20-30 minutes during the Fun Run, which is during school in the early afternoon...and it's simply a lot of fun for everyone! One hundred percent of the donations collected go to the PTSA to fund programs, events, teacher stipends, and SO much more! To learn more about this fundraising event, click here!

Used Book Rodeo
|
![]() Yeehaw! This event is a McAuliffe favorite and, because it is also open to the public, has gained quite a gallop in our community as well. At McAuliffe, we like to read and recycle! It's never too early to start saving your gently used books, DVDs. board games, puzzles and video games for the Used Book Rodeo. A week before the Rodeo, we have a Roundup Collection Week when student bring in all of their collected items to earn "Book Bucks," which they can use to find different books at the Book Rodeo. Click here for more information.

School Play
|
![]() The McAuliffe PTSA collaborates with Kirkland-based Studio East in bringing a wonderful opportunity to 4th and 5th graders to explore the performing arts with a school play. Students are required to complete and turn in an audition form, production contract, and medical information, and attend all mandatory rehearsals and final performances. Tickets for the school play can be purchased by the week before the play or at the door.
