Kid's Heart Challenge!
On 2/21/2022 we will kick-off this year's Kids Heart Challenge Road Trip! Students will learn how and why they need to take care of their hearts and have the opportunity to help others by raising awareness and funds for the American Heart Association. Click here for a Sneak Peek of the program!
Finn’s Mission will be your road map along the way! Check it out on the Kids Heart Challenge app for iPhone or Android, or online. Complete Finn's Mission with your family! https://youtu.be/l_kOvZDYsdU

School Report Card
Below you will find a copy of the State of Texas 2020–21 School Report Card for Manford Williams Elementary School. This report is required by the Texas Legislature and prepared by the Texas Education Agency. It is to be sent to the parent or guardian of every child enrolled in a Texas public school. The report provides information concerning student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), as well as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures.
The information contained in the School Report Card is required by state law and is briefly described in the enclosed “2020–21 School Report Card Definitions.” The report for our school may or may not have all the information described because the information presented depends on whether the school is an elementary, middle, or high school.
State law requires that the School Report Card display information about the state, the district, and the school. Where possible, the information must be reported by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status of the students and must include at least two years of results.
The School Report Cards can be found online at
A more complete report about Manford Williams Elementary School, the Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR), is available by contacting my office or can be accessed online at https://rptsvr1.tea.texas.gov/perfreport/tapr/index.html.
Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this report card. Thank you for your continued support of Manford Williams Elementary School.
Sincerely,
Anitra Wilson, Principal
Manford Williams Elementary School

Use boxes or books to create a ramp. Find five things to roll down the ramp. What rolls the farthest? What rolls the shortest? What happens when the ramp is raised and lowered? Try the ramp on different surfaces like the carpet, a tile floor, the sidewalk. Which surface do the objects roll the farthest? The shortest? Why? Hint: Think about friction.
