Principal's Note...
Pennies for Patients Annual School Service Project – Way to go Memorial!
Manchester Memorial Elementary School has school spirit!!! Our annual school service project, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Pennies for Patients fundraising program, has officially gone down in the books as super successful, thanks to all of the support, hard work, and effort of the students, their families, and teachers at MMES!
This year our fundraising goal was $3,500 (last year we raised over $3,441). Although our goal was lofty, the students at MMES exceeded the goal by almost $1,000!
Students held lemonade stands, bake sales, did errands for neighbors, asked family and friends for donations, and got permission to sit outside local area businesses to collect for the fundraiser and brought in $4,433.54.
Even more impressive than the amount we raised, the students really pulled together, and it was a great example of how, if we all pull together, great things can be accomplished. Thank you again to Mrs. Newton, our students, families, room parents, and teachers for supporting this worthwhile fundraiser.
A couple of notes:
-Manchester Bike and Pedestrian Committee Bike Rodeo is Saturday at MMES parking lot.
-Our last day of school is 6/21/18 - Noon Dismissal
Have a great weekend!
Best,
John
