Dear Mann Community:
Thanks to the parents who came to the Redmond Learning Community Capacity Meeting this past Monday night. If you were not able to make to the meeting, Dr. Pierce took some time giving us background on how we have become overcrowded in the RLC and potential options to temporarily relieve this issue. Attached is a Feedback Form for your review and input. As you read through some of the options, please feel free to jot down your ideas and submit it to the main office, here at Mann or e-mail it to me at mspaulding@lwsd.org.
Click here for Mann Parent Feedback Form.
On another note, I want to express my thankfulness for this wonderful community. I hope you all have a restful long weekend full of thanksgiving!
All the best,
Megan Spaulding
Principal

The Knights of the Multiplication Table
This exciting program involves all 3rd and 4th grade students at Horace Mann. Upon completing their multiplication facts, our students will have the opportunity to kneel before our royal Mrs. Spaulding to be knighted and honored with their classmates.
Many of the 4th grade students were knighted last year. They will have ONE opportunity this year to become senior knights. The Horace Mann Senior Knighting Ceremony will be held on Thursday, December 19th at 2:00 PM. Parents of those being knighted are invited to attend.
Do lots of multiplication review at home so that you can one day soon join The Knights of the Multiplication Table!

VOLUNTEERS?? PLEASE!
Parking Lot Patrol - do you like drop off to go smooth in the morning? Then we need more than one faithful helper.
Math Club - without volunteers, we cannot keep this going.
Nominating Committee - the PTSA cannot provide all its great programs without members. We'll need to scale back without volunteers.
