The Manning Weekly Newsletter
May 17, 2019
Dear Families,
We made it to the last week of school - and truly, it's only three and a half days. I hope our students can find the time to reflect back on this school year and be proud of their accomplishments. The truth is, under our teachers' care, they have each done a lot. All 675 of our students are in a better position now than they were in August. I have literally seen many of our students physically grow a few inches. Perhaps more importantly, we can look at our MAP scores to see that our students have grown academically, in addition to physically! It has been a joy working with your children this year - thank you for sharing them with us!
We hope to see many of you at continuation on Thursday. Have a great weekend.
David / Mr. Luongo

We will walk the 8th graders over to the park once we are done with continuation rehearsal.

PLC Update
This past Wednesday, our teachers met in grade level teams to plan out what our last day of school looks like.
At Manning, we strive to live our core values every day.
HONESTY
- Lynessa Perez got an answer wrong on a test and the teacher counted it right so she informed the teacher because she felt it was the right thing to do.
EFFORT
- All of our musicians sounded terrific this week, thanks to all your hard effort working on your songs. (Guitar, Band, Orchestra, and Choirs.)
ACHIEVEMENT
- Mrs. Ritschard has helped all of her students in math. In my math class Mrs. Ritschard is always trying to make sure we understand the concept being taught. She stays with us even when our class gets a little rowdy. I have learned so much from her this year and I just wanted to thank her!
- Lynessa Perez earned a perfect score on her Social Studies test after studying and taking notes.
- Maddie Walton passed her Social Studies test after studying and taking notes.
RESPECT
- Thank you Zoe Miller and Tamryn Klatt for writing kind notes to me on all of your science work. You've made my year!
- Nile Ricotta has always been on my side for the whole year. He always cracks me up and laughs at my jokes. He always stands up for me and is one of the most kindest person I know. He always has been sticking with me every step of the way. He has never doubted me and I see him as a great friend.
- I came to Manning with very few friends, but Aidan Whitney talked to me and asked me to sit at his table. He was the one that made me feel at home, thank you!
- Audrey Rice is the nicest person I know. She always helps people out when they need it. We are in digital design together and she helps me troubleshoot, yet doesn't boss me around. She is a GREAT person.
- Hannah has always had my back, and I appreciate her loving heart for me and her friend group. We love you hannah!!!
TEAMWORK
- Today, I noticed that Logan Dickerson helped his substitute teacher know where to go during the Fire Drill! It was such a powerful act of kindness and respect. Thank you.
