Greetings!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support in passing our Sept. 29 referendum that allows us to address critical issues in our district.  There is no question that these improvements will benefit our students, our staff and the entire community. 

Your commitment to the school district is a commitment to our community and is vital to helping us achieve our goal of providing a positive, safe and challenging education for all of our students.  In return, we are committed to stressing to our students the importance of giving back to the community.  We all benefit by working together this way.  
 
In this issue, you will see some of the ways our students are giving back, as well as news from our October Board of Education meeting.
 
Thank you for your continued support of the Manchester Township School District.
