The Champions have a brand-new place to make memories! 🏆💙

Last week, before the first bell rang, Brock Elliott Elementary families gathered for Back-to-School Night and celebrated an exciting new chapter with the ribbon-cutting for the school's new multipurpose room.

With Brock Elliott teachers standing proudly behind them, Board Trustee Marie Freitas, Assistant Superintendent Melanie Greene, and Principal David Silveira officially cut the ribbon, opening the doors to a space that will soon be filled with performances, assemblies, celebrations, lunches, and countless moments that students will remember for years to come.

As soon as the ribbon dropped, students couldn't wait to be the first inside. They raced through the doors with wide eyes, eager smiles, and enough excitement to fill the room before the furniture even could.

This isn't just a new building. It's a place where Champions will learn, perform, celebrate, and grow together for generations to come. Here's to a new space that's already bringing our school community together. 💙🏆

Before the start of the new school year, the Women of Woodbridge made their annual school supply donation, delivering six carloads of backpacks, markers, notebooks, and other essentials to August Knodt Elementary! 🎒🎉

Students had the opportunity to pick out school supplies after attending orientation, adding to the excitement of starting the new school year. From art supplies to everyday school essentials, there was something for every student to take home!

The Women of Woodbridge and their community have been generously donating to Manteca Unified schools yearly since 2018, making this their 8th year!

Thank you, Women of Woodbridge, for your generosity and continued support of Manteca Unified students and families! ✏️🌟

We asked, and you delivered once again! 📸✨
