Friday, January 9 is the Caring Team’s McKnight Pride Tattoo Day – Students can purchase a water removable tiger print tattoo at lunch time for 50 cents! 

The PFA's indoor recess books and games drive was a huge success!   Because of the generosity of many families, the teachers were able to choose from over 450 books, 100 card and board games, 30 jigsaw puzzles and various other items.  A super big THANK YOU to all of the families that donated items for the drive.  You help “make things happen for our kids”!

The McKnight PFA publishing center covers and binds many of the special keepsakes your child makes at school.  We need your help.  We are having difficulty getting nice materials to cover these books. We are looking for sturdy cardboard pieces or white stock board that are at least 8 ½ x 11 for covers on books, please send it to the McKnight Publishing Center. Questions can be directed to Bev Washabaugh at (412) 367-2803 or richandbevw@verizon.net. Thank you!
