I hope you're having a great summer so far!

In order to have the most amazing 2022-23 school year, we need your help! The PTA already is planning fun activities for the upcoming school year. When I think about schools that have a very strong PTA and parent support with leading various events, I ask myself, "Why should Manning Oaks be any different?"

Our wonderful school can't be as great as it is meant to be without your support with activities and events for students, staff, and parents. Will you please help me in making sure your child has a very rich and meaningful experience? By volunteering just a couple hours each semester, you will help make your child's school experience even more amazing.

I just love how much MOE Parents support the school by attending events and activities. I am asking for additional support with helping to organize, plan, and execute various activities and events for the 2022-23 school year and beyond.

We have a new PTA President, Ms. Tamika Whitted. We also have a new secretary, Ms. Cheyenne Hogan and a new treasurer, Ms. Megan Sweet. Ms. Lori Hetherington serves on the PTA Board as well. Thank you for your service!

With over 700 students, we really need a lot of parent support to do the things we want to do for our students. The PTA Board consists of parents who also are working parents and have committed to supporting their child's school. They need your help.

We are in search of a Co President, Vice President, Business Partners' and Fundraising Chair, Events Chair, Staff Appreciation Chair, Communications' Chair.

If you are not able or interested in serving on the board but want to help, please do! There is so much that needs to be done. Planning and executing events is where we need to most support.

Please review the information below to see how you can help.

Please email moeptapresident@gmail.com to notify them if you'd like to serve on the board or help in a particular area. We also will have opportunities to sign up at Sneak Peek, Thursday, August 4th.

Thank you for partnering with me to ensure your kiddos have a well rounded experience at school. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Best regards,

Nikkole Flowers, Proud Principal
