Dear Families,
We are busy gearing up for the festivities on November 1! It's always a treat to watch our community come together: I'm excited to see you at the Fall Fest and to see the kids at the Halloween Dance. We are also proud to support Robbie's Hope with our first ever Manning Fun Run. PHEW! It will be a hopping, joy-filled day.
Thanks, as always, for sharing your kids with us; it is our honor to serve them!

EFFORT
Images has been working hard this year. They are preparing some hard music but put SO much effort into every 1st hour. They always make me smile and I look forward to every day I have Images. On the 18th we did so good on our music including ¨Dies Ire¨ and I had SO much fun that day! Nice job Images and keep up the good work!
Mrs Putnam always makes sure her students understand what's happening in class and always helps her students.
When all of my pens fell out of my locker Malia Miller picked them up for me.
Evie Strafface is always staying on top of her grades and turning things in on time. She always is trying to turn things in on time and get good grades.
In Creative Writing, Gabby Dow always gives a lot of effort, and writes amazing stories. She makes the class so much fun- so does Mrs. K- and bring lots of humor into everything.
Louisa Kellstrom has been working very hard in ELA class. She has gotten so good at finding text evidence to support her thinking.
ACHIEVEMENT
Bella Delesia has been working hard everyday! She cares about everybody. She cares about others and she knows when something is wrong. She is really sweet, and I've never seen her not smile.
Karla, Mariella, Harrison, and Alexis did a wonderful job representing our student body at the Manning Information Night! They were articulate, kind, funny and charming.
RESPECT
Lucca stopped in the hall to help me pick my things up after I dropped them in the hallway
When I was having trouble in Social Studies, Giuseppe Licata helped me finish the task.
I was walking down the halls and I dropped all my stuff, and Finn Hart helped me pick it up.
Murphy is really nice to me every time I see him in the halls
Bella Kim is a good person and a good friend.
TEAMWORK
Mr. Hughes' poor photography class has to walk into the classroom in the midst of piles and piles of boxes, tape, trash, and other messes that are a result of a full day of Design Thinking Projects. They work around the messes and have great class.
Olin Ferguson is so polite and kind. He helps me carry my things into the school in the morning since I'm injured. He's nice to everyone and holds the door open for people coming in the school.
Kelsey Webber is very kind and helpful when her classmates are confused about their work. She is patient in explaining what needs to be done.
