Horace Mannager - August 30, 2015

https://horacemannptsa.ourschoolpages.com/Packet/2015FirstDayPacket. The First Day Packet will allow you to renew your PTSA membership (so you'll receive the directory as well as our weekly fun-filled Mannager e-mails), join the birthday book club for your students, sign up to volunteer, order your yearbooks, as well as order spirit wear.

Most importantly, you'll be able to donate to this year's one and only PTSA fundraiser - Pass the Hat! A $100 per student donation allows the PTSA to provide support for our wonderful teachers and staff and pays for invaluable services for our students. Donations are vital for the PTSA to continue to help Mann be an amazing school - and we need your participation to make this year successful!
