Important Information

The annual Veterans Day Assembly will be Friday, Nov. 10 at 8AM in the gym. All Slaughter Wolfpack family Veterans are invited to attend. There will be refreshments for all guests in the Wolf Den immediately following the assembly. Any Slaughter students who are involved in a scouting program are invited to participate in the assembly as part of the presentation of the colors. Students who want to participate, should arrive at 7:30 in their scouting uniform, and meet with Mrs. Heather McEnroe in the gym to learn how to carry the flags.

Our Fall Book Fair is coming up soon! Your kids are going to be so excited to read the many exciting books we will have available! We are looking for book fair volunteers. All volunteers will get $5 off a purchase of $20! Please sign up here: https://tinyurl.com/bffall23

Every Friday, students are invited to donate $1 to Slaughter's Relay for Life team, to wear a hat to school.

The high schools in McKinney are teaming up with other McKinney schools and organizations to collect food items to feed families in need for the holidays. We're collecting the following items: canned corn, canned green beans, instant mashed potatoes, boxed Jello, instant gravy packets
