Central Manor PTO - Booster-Thon Fun Run Update


I wanted to give you an update on our progress! As a school, we have raised $5,569 and our class has reached $15 on our donation tracker!  We think we can make it even further to help our school reach our goal of $25000 for field trips, class materials, teacher support, and community events.


Will you help us by sharing your page with one or two more donors tonight? You can use the share tools on your mybooster.com dashboard to make it easy. If you haven't already registered your student, don't worry! There's still time to do that tonight.


We’re also having a great time discovering how to live with character as part of our fundraising activities. Make sure to ask your student what they learned in the World Changer Workshop today! ( You can also watch the videos with your student at home on mybooster.com)


Let me know if you have any questions. P.S. To register your student on mybooster.com search for Central Manor Fun Run!

Central Manor PTO - Needs Your Help! - Book Fair


Do you love books and reading?

Do you want to encourage and foster a love of reading in our community?


Well, then look no further! The Book Fair Committee needs your help!! 


They are still in need of 1-2 volunteers who would be able to step into the role of book fair co-chairs starting in the 2024/2025 school year. This may seem far away, but in order to make the transition into the role easier, those volunteers would be able to shadow/help the current co-chairs with the 2023/2024 fair that will take place in December 2023. 


With your help, we will be able to ensure that we are able to offer this much loved and anticipated event to students that are here now and those that are yet to come!  Come help us encourage and support a love of reading and learning.


“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

Dr. Seuss

Our wonderful school PTO needs your help! The students are soon going to be learning about our new school fundraiser, Booster-thon! Booster-thon is coming up in just a few short weeks and we are in the process of finding volunteers for the fun run event that will wrap up the program. We would like to continue the tradition of marking the students backs for each lap they run, however, this requires MANY volunteers. In addition, those volunteers have to have their clearances to participate.


If the district already has your clearances and you would like to volunteer for the fun-run event, please click this link -->  sign-up genius link


If you are interested and the district DOES NOT have your clearances, please click the following link -->   link
