The Family Directory
The Magee PTO assembles information and publishes the Magee Family Directory to assist in the communications within our school community. The PTO targets to get each family a copy by mid October. Participation in the Family Directory is completely voluntary and information is collected by the Magee PTO at the Back to School Bash as well as via a form sent out the first weeks of the school year.
Coins for A Cause / Penny Wars
Coins for a Cause (affectionally referred to as Penny Wars) occurs in tandem with the fall and spring book fair. The CFAC table is set up outside the entrance each morning, with a jar for each classroom. Silver coins add to your classroom total, pennies are subtracted. The classroom with the highest total at the end of the week wins a fun classroom party! This year all proceeds will help fund our all school and alumni End of Year Party and Magee Scholarships for the next 14 years.

Holiday Ornaments
To add to the festive spirit around Magee during the winter holidays, the PTO coordinates an ornament craft project for every student. Railway Buddies pair up to work on their creations together, and the finished products are used to decorate trees in the hallways during the month of December. The ornaments are then brought home before winter break as a special holiday keepsake!
Holiday Gift Giving
As a way to show appreciation to all of our amazing Magee staff, faculty and bus drivers, an online donation site is set up for convenient gift giving opportunities during the holiday season. Your gift, of any size, is combined with all the other gifts for your designated staff member(s) and “snowballed” into a larger monetary amount to purchase a gift card of that staff member’s choice. Your family name will be included on the card for each gift card you contributed toward, but also don't forget to write them a message! Every recipient will be able to see the list of participants (but not their individual contributions) and their greetings.
Valentine's Day Hearts
The PTO provides Valentine's Day hearts for parents as a fun opportunity to show their child how great they are! Parents decorate the heart with a special message - keep it simple or decorate it with pictures, stickers, glitter, etc. The completed hearts will hang outside the classrooms for everyone to appreciate and are returned home after the holiday.
