Dear McAuliffe Parents and Families,
Today was a very special day at McAuliffe for our 6th grade students! The 2018 McAuliffe 6th Grade Summit focused on social-emotional learning, how the brain works, and creating a culture of inclusion, compassion, and empathy. We are so proud of our students for their thoughtful approach to the work we did today
Keep dreaming big, Eagles!

The cost of a wish is $7,500, and we are well on our way to Wish #4. The club hosts fundraisers throughout the year from Hot Chocolate morning to Movie Matinee where the entire student body can participate; our greatest support coming from Birthday Wishes on the school marquee.
