Ms. Horyza’s 6th graders raced against the clock! 🏁💡 They crushed their vocabulary challenge with speed and smarts!



These 6th graders turned blank boards into masterpieces!


🎉 Way to go, Mrs. Monecke’s 4th grade! 🎉
Her class has filled up their Brag Board for the 3rd time this year, and to celebrate, they got to make SLIME as their reward! 🧪✨
We are so proud of their hard work, teamwork, and great behavior—keep it up!

Today is all about celebrating our amazing custodians at McDade Elementary! You keep our classrooms clean, our hallways shining, and our school feeling welcoming for every student, teacher, and visitor.
Behind every polished floor and tidy desk is a custodian who makes our school a better place. You tackle messes, spread cheer, and keep our school running smoothly—day in and day out. Thank you Mrs. Carmen & Mrs. Claudia for your hard work, dedication, and heart. You truly sweep us off our feet!

McDade Elementary is in need of clothing donations for our nurse’s office. Accidents happen, and having extra clothing on hand helps us keep our students comfortable and focused on learning.
Donations can be dropped off in the McDade Elementary front office during school hours.
Thank you for supporting our students and helping us take care of their everyday needs!
