Greetings!

Once again, our students and staff have shown they care by immediately coming up with ways to help the people of Haiti in the wake of the tragic earthquake there.  Fundraising activities are underway at all of our schools.

Here in Manchester, we know we can always count on our community to lend their support.  In December, it was for the very successful Kevin's Kids Drive.  Also in December, Lowe's of Manchester was a good neighbor to MTES, taking on a project to restore the school's garden.  These are just two examples of the many ways that parents, seniors, businesses, clubs, and other organizations support us throughout the year. 

As you know, we missed three school days in December due to the big snowstorm.  Although not officially approved, these days have tentatively been tacked onto the end of the school year, bringing our last day for students and graduation ceremonies to June 23.  Updated Chalk Talk calendar pages are available on our website.

I hope you'll take some time to read below about some of the exciting things that are happening in our schools, and follow the links to the left to additional school news and upcoming events.

As always, thank you for your support of our school district.

David Trethaway, Superintendent
