Principal's Message
Thanksgiving is a time for us all to pause from our busy schedules to give thanks for all we have. Each day I am honored to work with wonderful teachers, students, and staff. For this honor I am truly thankful. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. We will see everyone back at school on November 26th!

December 3-8: Bullying Prevention Week
Bullying Prevention Spirit Week!
December 3rd - December 7th
“Be an Upstander, not a Bystander!”
Manassas Park staff and students! Let’s take a stand against bullying by participating in a week of Bullying prevention activities with a focus on being an upstander!
Monday: Wear your clothes inside out - This shows bullying can cause hurt feelings on the inside more than anyone knows on the outside.
Tuesday: Wear two different shoes - Take a walk in someone else’s shoes, to show compassion and empathy for someone’s situation.
Wednesday: Upstanders are superheroes - Let all students know you are a superhero in the effort to stop bullying by dressing up as a superhero.
Thursday: Wear blue - The official color of Bullying Prevention.
Friday: Team up AGAINST bullying - Wear your favorite team shirt or jersey to show that we are teaming up against bullying. Together we can make a difference!
