6th Grade Slideshow - Pictures Requested
As part of the 6th grade promotion celebration, we will create a slideshow of kindergarten / early elementary photographs of our sixth graders. Students will watch the slideshow during the pizza lunch, and will hopefully have a lot of fun seeing how much they have grown over the course of elementary school!
Participation is completely optional. If you would like to participate, please upload a photograph of your child from kindergarten / first grade using the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/JbQtUC6iSlyMwgywCuBK.
Photographs should be uploaded no later than Friday, May 30.
We are limiting access to the Dropbox folder, so once you upload a photo you will not be able to browse around and look at other photos.

Mantua Field Days
Have you ever been to a Mantua Field Day? It is a blast! From sack races to sponge relays, and even a custom tricycle race under a car wash - hand built by our very own Mr. Collins and Ms. Bruining!
We need volunteers! Trust us, your kids want you there to witness! Your teacher and/or room parent will likely provide more information about parent volunteer needs and dates/times, so please reach out to them to volunteer (even if just for a short time).
It's not too late to join the PTA!
Help support our students and teachers!
YEARLY DUES are only $20 per family.
