What is one thing that all people have in common? That they are different! At McGaheysville Elementary School we have spent our entire school year honoring and celebrating each individual person for the unique and special person that they are! Students have learned that we are all different than those around us and that we each have a common bond; we are all human beings who desire to be cared for and loved.
The students at McGaheysville sampled food, created artwork, learned dances, sang songs, and studied about their own heritages. The children enjoyed being able to honor other McGaheysville citizens for their uniqueness and have learned to view others through global eyeglasses.

In the current times of budget cuts and limited financial resources for area schools, we rely on assistance from local businesses as we partner up to ensure that our students receive the best possible education as well as an aesthetically pleasing educational environment! We are very fortunate to live in an area that values our schools and where businesses are supporting local schools with volunteers and monetary assistance so that schools can do their very best as they work with children.
On Saturday, April 14, 2012 Home Depot and JMU provided volunteers to McGaheysville Elementary School to paint several interior walls that were in need of a fresh coat of paint. About fifteen volunteers armed with paint, tape, and brushes began their day at 8:00 am and continued through 3:30 taping, edging, and rolling their way through three hallways. The feeling of community echoed through the hallways as the job progressed and the outcome was a clean and crisp new coat of paint. In addition to new walls, an atmosphere of comradery was evident as all took pride in their work. The community of McGaheysville appreciates the time and energy that all of our businesses supply to our school in this era of unsure economic times!

The School Board has approved the recommendation to adjust the 2011-12 calendar, due to the remaining one day for inclement weather (built into the calendar) providing an additional holiday for students and employees. The new holiday date is Monday, April 9, 2012, the day following spring break. Schools and school board offices will be closed on that day.
