MSD Community Update for June 7

Over $42,000 worth of scholarships were handed out to Manville High School Seniors last week at Senior Scholarship Night. Congratulations to all Senior scholarship recipients and a big thank you to all the contributors! Check out the below video honoring all our scholarship recipients.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Mr. Putvinski and Mrs. Lynn for organizing an AMAZING Field Day experience for our Roosevelt Colts! Thank you to all of our volunteers! We hope our Colts had FUN!

The 8th grade has a blast on the annual trip to Washington DC. Students explored the Air and Space Museum and took pictures in front of the White House and the US Capitol Building. 8th graders also paid their respects to fallen soldiers and their families at Arlington National Cemetery while also visiting JFK’s grave site and watching the Changing of the Guard Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Before heading home, they visited the Vietnam, Korea, Lincoln, Washington, Martin Luther King Jr. and Jefferson memorials as well as spending some time in the National Holocaust museum. Students had some down time and ate a ton of food, snacks, and Starbucks. We look forward to our next trip to DC in 2024!

To culminate a successful year, the fifth graders participated in a Harry Potter Day! For the morning rotations, students took part in curriculum based hands-on activities, such as potion writing, experimenting with color changing potions, and even attending a Death Day Party as an invented ghost. The afternoon was filled with an energetic Quidditch Tournament! The fifth grade teachers were thrilled to provide this fun activity for their students to cap off their first year at ABIS!
