Our congregation is involved at Caldwell Elementary in many ways. We are blessed to have “adopted” this Title I school that is just down the street from our church.
The mission of Caldwell Elementary, the foundation of excellence for the future in the heart of McKinney, is to inspire and empower all students.
Our mission is to share the heart of Christ from the heart of McKinney. Caldwell is a perfect partner!
It’s that time of year where we get backpacks and school supplies for students at Caldwell Elementary! Use the info below to purchase, donate, or volunteer! We have 135 students this year!
Stop by the table in the hallway to pick up a tag. Each tag will tell you the child’s age, favorite color/character for a backpack, and size for jeans. Make sure you scan the QR code and register your tag. You can choose more than one!
We are shopping for all the important school supplies for each child. We’re also getting school shirts! You can help cover the cost of these items by make a donation. Thank you for your generosity!
On August 6th from 4:30 to 6pm at The Hub, we will distribute the backpacks to the students and their families. We will celebrate the start to a new school year with snow cones, sweet treats, and school supplies! Sign up here to serve.
We provide backpacks and supplies for Caldwell during our Very Caldwell Christmas in July!
Mentoring at Caldwell Elementary
First Methodist loves to mentor at Caldwell. This is a huge gift that doesn’t take much time. You can have lunch, play a game, or read with your student. Many mentors stay with their child throughout their time at McKinney ISD. Want to learn more or get help signing up? Email Pam Parmley. You will need to fill out the online forms through MISD (info is below).
