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.

Attention 5th Grade Families!
Dear 5th Grade Families,
On behalf of the 5th Grade Party Planning Committee, we would like to thank those of you who have contributed your time, talents and monetary donations towards our 5th Grade Party! As you may know, the 5th Grade Party is not funded by the school so we rely on parents and guardians such as yourself to make this party a success!
The votes are in and our 5th Graders have chosen a “Beach” theme for this year's party. The Decorating Committee has plans to transform the playground into an amazing beach/boardwalk for the kids to enjoy!
To keep our children entertained, our Game Committee, Food Committee and Entertainment Committee have some wonderful ideas. Our playground will be filled with games with prizes to be won, snacks that all of our children are sure to love, a DJ, photo booth and of course a gift to all of our well deserving 5th graders!
Be on the lookout for a formal invite to each of our students for this special celebration! The party will be during the school day and for students only. Parent volunteers will help run the stations.
If you would like to help make these party ideas come to life and contribute to this celebration, it’s not too late! Please consider making a monetary donation via Venmo (MRhoades-8), PayPal (oldfossil17@hotmail.com) or Check (utilize the attached form below). UPDATED DUE DATE: All donations must be received by Friday, April 22th.
We thank you for all that you have done for our 5th graders throughout their elementary years! Let’s help give them the party they deserve!
Our Sincerest Thanks,
The 5th Grade Party Committee
