The Manning School PTA

The Manning PTA needs you! We are in need of a Treasurer for the 2019-20 school year, and chairs for both the silent auction and the chili cookoff in the fall.

The role of a middle school PTA Treasurer is easy! Really! If you can balance a checkbook – or let your bank balance it for you – you can do this work! The job takes only a few hours each month during most of the year. It is a bit busier at the beginning of the year, but still not as much as you’re likely thinking :-)

The silent auction can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like- we have often done a very simple event, and as a chairperson you would be able to go bigger if you want, or not. The chair for the silent auction will help organize a committee to set up the chili cooks and the cafeteria.

Don’t forget to order your 2018-19 Yearbook!  Parents of 8th grade students may also purchase Well Wishes for $10.  Click here for more information:  2018-19 Yearbook and 8th Grade Well Wishes

Do you have a special talent?  Come audition for the Manning Talent Show!  Auditions:  Wednesday, 2/27 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the auditorium.  Students need to come to their audition prepared!  We will provide a chair or stool, microphone, piano, ability to play MP3 from a phone or other device, and a CD player.  Anything else needs needs to be provided by the student.  The talent show will be judged and we may not accept all auditions.  Students who are selected to perform will have 2 mandatory rehearsals and a mandatory dress rehearsal.  Wednesday, 3/6, 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. rehearsal; Wednesday, 3/13, 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. rehearsal, Friday, 3/15, 1:15 to 2:15 p.m. dress rehearsal; and Friday, 3/15, 6:00 p.m. – performance.

The Manning School PTA is proud to announce that Lillian Young’s piece “Parents are Heroes” won a Silver Award in the Middle School Visual Arts category at the state level in the 2018-2019 Reflections Cultural Arts Contest.  Along with being a stand-out talent among middle school students in Jeffco, this demonstrates Lillian’s talent among all middle school students in the state.  The Manning School community couldn’t be more proud of Lillian’s accomplishment!
