Sox for Kids
Sox for Kids is a charitable organization that collects funds to take eligible children Christmas shopping. Manvel has about 40 children that participate. Please consider donating money to this worthy cause.
You can help meet the needs of our children by...
1. Donate to Sox For Kids when you consider your charitable contributions this holiday season. It is important that the Manvel community does its part by financially supporting the program. Please send donations to Dr. Wheeler at Manvel School, 801 Oldham Avenue, Manvel, N.D. 58256 and he will forward them to Sox for Kids.
2. Attending the fundraising auction on Saturday, December 10th, beginning at 6:00 PM in Northwood, N.D. (see flyer below).
Thank you for your donations for children in need this Holiday!

Thanks to everyone who supported our Turkey Bingo PTO Fundraiser! It's awesome to see the Manvel Community support our local school!
Bus students:
All students who ride a bus to school must have coats, caps, mittens/gloves, and appropriate shoes/boots. This is a safety issue now that the weather is getting cold. Although the buses are warmed and ready when students board them, the cool down quickly when doors open, and if a bus should ever stall, we want the students to remain safe and comfortable.
