Announcements

• Summer in the Manorhaven Garden: The Manorhaven Garden is in its full summer glory and the Garden Committee would love your help tending it while school is out! The Committee will keep a close eye on the garden but would love to get the school community involved too. Here's how it works:  Sign up for one week and be responsible for the garden with one other family. You will stop by the garden 2-3 times during the week to check on weeds/water/bugs and in exchange, you can take home as much harvest as you'd like.  We will send out specific instructions about how to care for the garden and what to look for. Questions? Email Liz Sobel. Thanks in advance for your help! 
• ​Manorhaven library news: Check out the latest edition of the Manorhaven Library newsletter for great info on resources to help prevent the “summer slide,” including instructions for accessing free e-books. 
• School supply lists: School's out for summer, but next year's supply lists are ready! Check out your grade-level supply lists for next year (lists available in English, Spanish and Japanese at the link) and consider purchasing your child's box of requested supplies from www.schooltoolbox.com. You can customize your box as needed.
  
• Summer reading lists: What's better than getting lost in a good book? Keep your kids reading this summer with these age-appropriate recommendations (K-5) from the district. Students entering Weber can choose great selections from this list (6-8).
