From Little Bit Foundation, which partners with Mann Elementary:
“FREE FRESH FOOD: Need a little extra help with groceries this month? 🍎 🍞
Stop by The Little Bit Foundation’s Mobile Food Market this Thursday at Patrick Henry Elementary. Walk up and get what you need.
No questions asked.
WHEN: August 20th from 8:30am-11am

Every month, we partner with St. Louis Area Foodbank to make this possible, working together to feed our community so no one goes hungry.

“

Today, 8/10, Mann staff reported back to work, so Mann Elementary PTO Board members Alli and Teresa delivered $100 gift cards from the PTO to every teacher, as well as our counselor, social worker, Family Community Specialist, librarian, and nurse. Hopefully it will help them get their classrooms and offices ready for the new school year with a little less stress on their own wallets. 🐴🧡💙

All-ages/all-abilities work time in the Mann Global Garden scheduled for this Saturday, August 1, 9:00 am! From Garden leader/parent, Hannah: “Nicole and I will be leading our next Mann garden work party this Saturday 8/1 at 9am. Here are a few activities to look forward to:
Weeding! (raised beds, fenceline, around compost bin, street trees)
Harvesting whatever is ready (most likely more eggplant, tomatoes, basil)
Turning compost
I realize storms are in the forecast for Friday and possibly into Saturday. As in the past, we will plan to move forward with the work day unless it is actively storming. Hope to see you there!” (Pictures from the Mann Global Garden & harvest summer 2025)
