October Parent Newsletter

A Note From the Principal

WOW WOW WOW! It is hard to believe it is already October!

It has been so nice the last couple of week, but you can definitely feel FALL in the air.

We have officially been in school for six weeks.

Again this year we are partnering with the Manvel Fire Department to spread awareness of fire safety during National Fire Safety Week. This year, Fire Safety Week is October 7th-11th. Students in the younger grades will get to go through stations with Manvel Firefighters and learn about safety from the Grand Forks Air Force Base personnel on Monday, October 7th. The Manvel Fire Department also purchased fire hats and coloring books for our students in PreK-3rd grade! There will be winners for a coloring contest, poster contest, and essay contest announced as well!

We are putting a special emphasis on being Empathetic this month! Our students did a super job of practicing Kindness last month.

We still have Yearbooks for sale from the 23-24 School Year. They are great keepsakes with so many fun memories ~ check them out or purchase one in the school office ~ they are $25.00 each.

Again, thanks for partnering with us to bring quality education to Manvel Public School! Your children are loved and cared for at MPS!
