LWHS/MM Protect the Pack -Families

Little Wolf High/Manawa Families,

Welcome back from break! I hope your break was filled with time outside with family and friends, and as they say April showers bring May flowers as we round out the 2025-2026 school year. With the warmer weather comes softball, baseball, golf, track, the FFA banquet and other surprises around the corner. Come join us to watch a meet or a game. As we move through the final quarter, we count up the days with students to make lasting memories, build life skills, and achieve academic greatness.

Take care,

Michelle Johnson, Little Wolf High/Manawa Middle Principal

Is there a teacher or staff member who does an amazing job for our students, OR someone you believe goes above and beyond who deserves to be told just that?!

Manawa Middle/Little Wolf High is asking our parents, caregivers, and community members to share who and why they would like to recognize individuals. Between now and the end of the year, we will be selecting one staff member to be recognized publically from your input each week, but we need your help.

All staff members who are recognized will receive the WHY and a featured picture with their class. Thank you for taking the time to share. I know I constantly brag about our students, community and staff. We are so very lucky!

Please, take a moment to fill out this form to nominate a staff or teacher today.
