Weekly Update from Mrs. Spear 11- 4 -21
Message from Mrs. Spear
It's November! Students have been dressed warm for recess this week! Don't forget to label your child's belongings before they end up in our "Lost and Found" table.
This November, Manavon Elementary will be learning more about and practicing the character trait of the month: Gratitude! You can help from home by expressing gratitude when you can. Students are encouraged to say "Thank you" to friends, teachers, bus drivers, family, and anyone that they see. It is a great way to show everyone around you kindness.
Our conferences are coming up so don't forget to sign up to talk to your child's teacher. You can sign up through your child's Skyward account beginning Thursday November 4th at 6:00 PM. See the link below for more information.

Manavon Cares: Holiday Giving Event
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Once again, with the help of our amazing school community, we will participate in the Manavon Cares Holiday Drive this year, an annual holiday tradition at Manavon. This is a voluntary school-wide project that allows each of us to share the excitement and joy of the upcoming holidays with families in our community who might otherwise not be able to enjoy the season.
This year, we have the privilege of adopting 15 families from our community to provide them with gifts and gift cards. We will be doing things a little differently this year, in an attempt to spread love and kindness, but not germs! If you would like to participate, we have several ways to contribute.
- First, you can choose to purchase items for the children of the adopted families by selecting a gift/s from the Manavon Cares Amazon Wishlist. If you choose to purchase an item/s from the Wishlist, please be sure to select the Manavon Cares Address for shipping, not your home address. That way, the item will go directly to our school, care of Mrs. Carolyn Ronayne, who will be sure to get the item to the family. Below is the link to the Wishlist. Please note that you are more than welcome to sign up for multiple gift items.
Manavon Cares Amazon Wishlist link
- If you prefer to send in a monetary donation, contributions will be used to purchase items such as requested gifts not available through the Amazon Wishlist, gift cards for older students, and wrapping paper for each family. With this second option, you can make a monetary donation via PayPal (see attached flyer for information).
If your family does wish to participate in this wonderful project, we encourage involving the children in whatever way possible so that they enjoy and appreciate the spirit of the project. Children often enjoy being part of the gift selection. We hope that it will be a rewarding experience that is equally beneficial to the gift givers and the families who receive the gifts.
All donations (monetary or ordering items directly from the wishlist are due by Monday, November 29th in order to accommodate possible longer shipping times this year. If you have any questions, please contact either Danielle Rhodes, Manavon Cares Coordinator, at drhodes0520@gmail.com or Carolyn Ronayne, School Counselor, at ronaynec@pasd.com or 484-927-5372. We thank you for your generosity, and wish you Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Robyn Spear
Principal
