Chat 'n Chew Is Coming!
Chat 'n' Chew is back for students in grades 3-6!
Join Mantua's popular book club that meets once a month from December thru April discussing great books with new (and old) friends. Parent volunteers lead groups of 6-8 kids in discussions and fun activities. Have one (or a few) budding book lovers in your house? Want to build literacy skills? Just feel like reading a good book and hanging out with friends? Books will be selected by school librarians and Chat 'n' Chew volunteers and provided to participants to keep.
Registration details coming soon! We can't wait to read with you!

Mantua Drama Club Planning 2024-2025
We are excited to announce that Mantua Drama Club will once again partner with Julie Johnston's iContact to create a musical theater experience for our 4th, 5th and 6th grade students! We are thrilled that this year we will be doing two musicals, Aladdin KIDS in the fall and Frozen KIDS in the Spring.
We are also thrilled to be adding a SPRING WORKSHOP. This is also open to 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. It will be held on Tuesday's starting in February. We had such high demand for the Drama program last year we are excited to add this as an option so that more kids may be exposed to Drama!
We highly encourage parents of interested students to join the parent information meeting on August 27th at 8pm. We will go through the schedule of both the fall and spring shows, the audition process, lottery, etc in great detail and will have time to answer all questions. Please use this zoom link to join: https://zoom.us/j/92695716428 Meeting ID: 926 9571 6428 Passcode: 075151.
Please note, registration will open immediately following the meeting on the 27th so we highly encourage you to attend.
