Dear McAuliffe Parents and Families,
I'm sorry for the late release of this week's Eagle Eye--we were busy having fun at the Halloween Dance Party with our 7th and 8th grade students. Students enjoyed dancing, games, and a costume contest (winners pictured above!).
HUGE THANK YOU to our PTA and parent volunteers led by Kelly Das! You guys are amazing!
6th Graders--we haven't forgotten you! You will have a dance coming up before the Winter Break!
Keep dreaming big, Eagles!
Dr. Ryan Weiss-Wright
