Today we want to recognize and celebrate two incredible PTO board members, Jenny Sweeny and Michelle Moushey, for their years of dedication and service to our school community.

For the past three years, Jenny has served as PTO Secretary and Michelle has served as Treasurer. Both have dedicated countless hours behind the scenes helping our PTO run smoothly and supporting so many events, activities, and opportunities for our students and staff.

These volunteer roles require so much time, hard work, and heart, and we are beyond grateful for everything they have done for our school community. Their commitment, generosity, and dedication have made such a lasting impact on McGrath.

Thank you, Jenny and Michelle, for all you have done over the years — we appreciate you more than words can say!

We are so incredibly grateful for the amazing staff at McGrath! 💙

Even though we celebrated Teacher Appreciation a little early this year, we couldn’t let Teacher Appreciation Week pass without recognizing them again. Our staff go above and beyond every single day—showing up with patience, kindness, and a genuine passion for helping every child succeed.

They create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where students feel supported, encouraged, and inspired to grow. From the little moments to the big milestones, their impact reaches far beyond the classroom.

We are so thankful for their dedication, heart, and the difference they make in our school community. Our children are truly lucky to be in their care—we appreciate you more than words can say! ✨

Confession: I found one of these in my garage 😅 If you’re in the same boat, no worries—just return it to the front office by the end of the year. We’re short for next year’s incoming kindergarten class. Thank you!
