I hope our Manavon families enjoyed the recent spring break!
Next week, on April 26, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will begin their state testing (PSSA's). See the section below for the full details. You can help by making sure your child gets a good sleep and a hearty breakfast so that they are ready to do their best!
Save the date for our last Manavon Home and School Meeting for the year! May 2nd at 7:00 in the cafeteria. Come out and enjoy some treats from the Manavon staff as a token of our appreciation to our volunteers.
Tonight, the PAHS National Honors Society is sponsoring an elementary Sports Night Fun Event. See the link below for more details!
Warmly,

The Details: We've just got 1 mile to go until it's our Big Finish Party! We will finish our marathon with a 0.2 mile victory lap and some post-race snacks. Awards will be given to the largest team and farthest away marathoner. We will have raffle prizes too! Everyone will get a race bib upon arrival. This will be your number for the door prize. We will move the festivities inside the Manavon gym in the event of inclement weather. PLEASE come and celebrate Manavon with us - even if you didn't officially keep track of your miles - it's safe to say we've all moved ourselves a mile one way or another each week for the past 25 weeks.
Manavon's very own Mr. Cummins will be playing LIVE MUSIC at our Big Finish Party on Friday, April 29th! We've got some great prizes to give away too. You must be present to be eligible for the participant raffles. We will also award our largest team award and our farthest away participant prize! You won't want to miss the fun! Traditional race day snacks will be served - soft pretzels, bananas and bottled water will be available for everyone.

Attention 5th Grade Parents: We need YOUR PHOTOS for the 5th Grade Slideshow Presentation
At the 5th Grade Awards Ceremony, a slideshow of photos will be presented as a special tribute to our 5th graders with photos from their first day of Kindergarten through their days in 5th grade at Manavon Elementary!
We can’t do this without photos from YOU!
We need 2-4 pictures of your student, with their friends or by themselves. School pictures, field day photos, field trips, concerts, and classroom party memories are perfect for this slideshow. We’d also love to have photos taken outside of school including birthday parties, sports teams, and any other activities your student enjoys. We want to have photos of every student in the slideshow doing all the things they like to do!
Please send your photos in either digital format or hard copy:
- Email your digital photos to 5thGradeManavonPhotos2022@gmail.com, and name each file with the student’s first and last name (ex: SallyJones-1.jpg, SallyJones-2.jpg).
- Send hard copy photos to school with your student in an envelope labeled 5th Grade Slideshow Photos and include your student’s name and teacher so we can return the photos to you.
To ensure we have photos of all 5th grade students and have enough time to put the presentation together, we are requesting all photos to be uploaded and/or sent to school by Friday, April 29.
If you have any questions regarding the 5th Grade Slideshow Presentation or sharing your photos, please email Rachel Pozun at rachel.pozun@gmail.com.
Thank you!
Please note, this photo request is not related to the baby photos that were requested for the yearbook. These photos should be of your student from kindergarten through their time at PAELC and Manavon.
