Good morning, STEM families!
The last week of the 2022-2023 school year is upon us. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone! Grade level ceremonies (Pre-K through 7th grade) will be this week. Please see within the newsletter the days and times of each grade level ceremony. All families are welcome to attend. The ceremony will be approximately 30 - 45 minutes in length, with time to take photos after the ceremony.
If you have gently used uniform pieces (shirts with the Manara log, navy or gray pants) that your scholar has outgrown and you would like to donate them to us, we are collecting gently used uniform pieces. If we have enough uniforms donated, we will have a used uniform sale at the beginning of next school year in August. Read within the newsletter further details!
I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the weekend! As the school year draws to a close, please let us know if you have any questions or need anything, as we are here to serve!
#MAWAY!

We are quickly approaching the end of our school year! It has been an outstanding year at Manara and I wish to take a moment to thank you as parents for all of your support and involvement throughout the school year! You have been amazing partners and we are grateful for each and every one of you!
Would you please take a moment to complete our annual Parent Feedback and Input Survey? We use your feedback to guide next steps, celebrate what our parents support and use your input into developing future plans for the school, our students and our families. Please allow about 10 minutes to complete this survey. Thank you for your valuable input!
Tell all of your family and friends about our Pre-K 3 opportunity for next school year! There are only a few more spots available. Our program will be for those scholars turning 3 by Sept. 1, 2023 and will run from 8:00am until 12:00pm Monday - Friday of the 2023-2024 school year. If you have any questions, please let us know!
Please visit the website below to find out more about our "Take Flight" Summer School opportunity for scholars in Pre-K through 5th grade. The link below will send you to our district website to find out more about the program and will direct you to the link to sign up your scholar. Please reach out if you have any questions!
If your scholar has out-grown their uniform and you would like to donate them to the school, we are collecting gently used uniform pieces for girls and boys - all sizes. If enough pieces are collected at the end of the school year, we will have a "gently used uniform sale" at the beginning of the school year.
Please drop off clean, gently used uniform pieces that you no longer need to Ms. Smith. Thank you!
Also, our primary uniform vendor, French Toast, is holding a Memorial Day sale. Take advantage of this opportunity to make sure your uniforms are ready to go for next school year! Use school code QS616AR or search Manara Academy.
Our last birthday Thursday will be on May 25. If your scholar has a birthday in May, June, or July, you can send in treats with your scholar on May 25 (or leave them labeled on the Forget-Me-Not table outside the main entrance). Treats will be given out the last 30 minutes of the school day.
