IN OUR SCHOOL...
Final Spirit Day of the Year, Friday, June 18: Can you believe it's already the last Spirit Day of the school year? Wear Manorhaven gear or something blue to end the year proud and strong!
PTA Impact Survey (en Español): Please take this 5-minute survey before the year is out for a chance to win a Manorhaven gift card! Two years ago, the PTA conducted a parent survey to understand your views of its effectiveness, inclusiveness and impact in the Manorhaven community. Please help us learn more about how you view the PTA’s efforts today, so we can assess what’s working, what’s not, what’s changed for the better and what still hasn’t changed enough. The PTA will use this information to inform its efforts, prioritize its actions and enrich the lives of students, staff and families at Manorhaven. The survey is anonymous and confidential, unless you wish to be entered into the drawing for an apparel gift card. Your feedback is welcome and appreciated!
Manorhaven Family Cookbook: We've only received a handful of recipes and they sound delicious...but we need your input to create a cookbook that represents the culinary tastes of our whole community. It's not too late to contribute. We'll leave the recipe submission forms open one more week. Please submit a favorite family recipe (en Español) this week if you can!
2021-2022 School Supplies Available Now!: Once again, the PTA is pleased to offer pre-packaged boxes of supplies for Online purchase. All boxes can be customized (you can remove items you already have, change quantities, etc.). Purchase complete, customizable supply boxes HERE, and check the PTA Website soon for grade-level supply lists if you prefer to purchase on your own. If you wish to support students in need this coming fall, you may purchase additional grade-level boxes or make an Angel Fund donation before checkout. Questions?

Get Involved Next Year! 2021-2022 PTA Committee Sign-up Form Available Now: As this year winds down, the PTA is already starting to look ahead and plan for the school year ahead. Check out the various committees, events and initiatives led by the PTA, and let us know where your interests, skills and special talents lie.
