Art Volunteers and Wipes Needed

Hi! We would love to have some parent volunteers join us in the art room to help us prep for our fabulous projects this year! Cutting, sorting, organizing, hanging, pouring, refilling.....no experience necessary.

Check out our 2023-2024 Art Room SignUpGenius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0C4AA9AC22A6FF2-mantua 

We are also looking for clorox/baby wipes donations, if you can help out please drop them off (or have your student drop off) in the front office or one of the art rooms. Thanks so much, we look forward to working with you and your students this year and appreciate ALL your HELP!! Mrs. Shirley & Mr. Lorenzi.


Mantua Basketball

The Mantua PTA Community Basketball League is a developmental organization which
embraces student athletes with a wide variety of skill levels and emphasizes teamwork,
skill development, and sportsmanship while teaching the fundamentals of basketball in
a neighborly environment.

3rd- 6th students are eligible to register starting August 29, 2023. Registration will end on September 19, 2023. More information can be found here, including player evaluation dates.

All eligible Mantua ES students are
encouraged to register at https://www.mantuabasketball.org/current-programs.

Volunteers are needed! 

The league is always in need of volunteers. Last season we had more than 250
students participate with less than 50 volunteers coaching, refereeing, or assisting with
logistics.

 Please consider donating your time
by signing-up as a coach and/or referee to support this great league and help provide
this amazing resource to our child athletes.

If you are interested in getting your kids involved in academic competition activities, please fill the 2023-2024 Academic Competition Interest Survey (https://forms.gle/v4UbkusUgMBEbBGFA). You have no obligation to participate- this is to gauge interest!
