Happy End of Trimester, Manzanita Families!

Friday marks the final day of our second trimester, and it is a wonderful time to pause and celebrate all of the growth our students have made.
As report cards go home soon, we encourage you to take a moment with your child to reflect on:

Their hard work
Their perseverance
Their academic growth
Their social and emotional development
The many accomplishments along the way

Growth doesn’t always show up in a single grade or score. It also lives in the confidence students build, the friendships they strengthen, the challenges they overcome, and the responsibility they show each day.
We are so proud of our Mountain Lions and grateful for the partnership we share with you. Your support at home makes a tremendous difference.

Mobile Ed STEAM Museum – February 23 & 24

We are excited to welcome the Mobile Ed STEAM Museum to campus on:

Monday, February 23
Tuesday, February 24

Students will participate during their scheduled class time. This is a fun, hands-on learning experience that promotes problem-solving, collaboration, and STEAM skills. We are looking forward to two engaging days of learning!
