Field Day
When my eldest child first attended McGillis, I was so excited to be a part of this amazing community that I embraced the opportunity to be on the PA. The committee introduced me to the many special facets of the McGillis experience as well as the most amazing teachers, staff and parents. Being a part of the PA has helped create a school experience for my family that I will always be grateful for.
