“We’re Sailing Into a New Year”
Mahanay Elementary will host a
Grandparent’s Luau Breakfast in honor of Grandparent’s Day!!
Monday, Sept. 9th, 2019
from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. in the cafeteria
We would love to see all of our wonderful grandparents!!!

Do you want free, healthy fruits and vegetables each week?
Brighter Bites is a non-profit organization that brings fresh fruits and vegetables to schools. All you have to do it sign up! A sign-up sheet went home with your child. Please return it to your child's teacher.
The bags of fruits and vegetables will be picked up by parents Wednesday afternoons from 3:30-4:30 by the gym.
We will need volunteers to help bag and sort the fruits and vegetables for the students from 11-1 on Wednesdays. If you are able to come and volunteer please email our school secretary, Magen Glaude, at magen.glaude@aliefisd.net .

Free Flu Shots in October
Healthy Schools will be bringing free flu shots to our kids the week of October 16th.
This is a wonderful opportunity for your kids to be immunized against the flu at no cost to you, and be done here during the school day.
Consent forms will be coming home soon. Please fill yours out completely, no blanks left, then return to the school nurse. I hope all of you will take advantage of this generous program! Let’s keep flu out of our school this year.
