To all McKinley families,

I hope you are well and staying healthy by obeying the recommendations from the health department.

I have been missing the kids more than I can say and can't wait to go back to school!

I want to share the following link as well about the difference between common cold, SPRING ALLERGIES,the flu and COVID-19.
