🌟Dear Manatee Families,

As we enter our final week of school, we want to remind everyone that Thursday is the last day of school for students.

Our 5th Grade Celebrations will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. All parents received invitations and two tickets earlier this month. Please be sure to have your tickets and identification ready when arriving on campus.

Students may continue bringing backpacks through the last day of school. We also encourage all students to make good choices and finish the year strong.
