Hello Manning Parents,

I hope everyone enjoyed the great weather this weekend!

We have Parent/Teacher conferences this week and we encourage all parents to attend. If you have any questions, or need anything, please reach out to the main office.

We had our Parent Partnership (Accountability) last week and covered some great topics like Sarah Maud's class working with NASA; our Unified Improvement Plan; and we reviewed the professional development that teachers participated in the previous Friday.

We are excited for the Fall Dance and the Chili Cookoff - we hope you will join us!

Special thanks to Hive Homes for signing on as a FallFest sponsor and the many families that have already donated an item to the Silent Auction. Mountain cabin getaways, handyman services, lift tickets, Haunted Halloween activities, Avalanche tickets, restaurant gift certificates and limo rides are just a few of the items we already have on the dockett. The excitement is building and we hope you’ve got it on your calendar! If you want to get in on the fun by sponsoring the event, you can learn more about opportunities here.

Congratulations to both our Band and Orchestra students for their great performances last week! Many thanks to our Band and Orchestra teachers, Mr. Page and Ms. Montgomery.

**Reminder - We will not be holding "Achievement" over the next two weeks because of Parent/Teacher conferences and our Fall Break. Achievement will resume on Friday, Oct. 28.

Thanks for all your support!

Mike Collins, Principal
