On Wednesday, Sept 15th we celebrated International Dot Day. Peter Reynolds, author & illustrator of The Dot, has inspired us to celebrate creativity, collaboration & courage ever since 2009. People from across the world participate in dot-filled days of making your mark like the character, Vashti.


Special shout out to the wonderful Mrs. Kuhblank and Mrs. Berrier for encouraging our Manatees in creating this beautiful masterpiece.

Thank you to the families who participated in Moe's Taco Tuesday! We sold over 80 taco kits! This event was a huge success and Moe’s was very impressed with how well organized Manatee is and can’t wait to collaborate with us again. Thank you families and thank you Moe’s Southwest Grill!
