A BIG THANK YOU to all the parents who took time to share their exciting careers with our 4th graders during Career Day. Very much appreciated.
MIS was thrilled to host its first McWilliams Mashup on Wednesday! 10 lucky students won the chance to participate in this event by entering their name in the Raffle for Reading that took place at Family Engagement Night. These kiddos faced off against Mr. McWilliams in 5 challenges that tested their athleticism, coordination, and grit, and they sure brought their A-game! Congrats to our winners and thank you to everyone who helped make the Mashup a great success!
The Class of 2025 had a busy 2 days: their 8th-Grade Dance & Great America Trip! Thanks to Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Dobczyk, & all the staff that decorated for & chaperoned the dance as well as the staff & parents that went on the trip! Without them, these celebrations wouldn't happen!
Anna McDonald summer countdown calendar begins this week!
Thanks to our PTO and volunteers that helped with the Field Days at MJHS last week! Despite having to scramble and make adjustments to move inside on Wednesday, all students had a blast! We're blessed to have such a committed group of parents that do what's best for kids!
Yesterday, all of our music programs at the Junior High combined to give a surprise performance honoring Dr. Pacheco! Thank you to Mrs. Pedziwater, Ms. Perkne, and all the musicians who planned it all! Thanks, Dr. Pacheco, for your contributions in Manhattan over the years!

Our first kickball tournament as a 2nd and 3rd grade building was a huge success. Mrs. Zaleski and Mrs. Darley's class faced off as grade level champions. Darley's Dragons took home the trophy as building champions and got to play the staff! Thank you to Mr. Erickson for organizing such a fun tradition. These are the days!
Thank you to our amazing PTO and parent volunteers for a great Field Day at Anna McDonald! The kids had a blast!
Our SRO team is back for their final episode of "It's a WE Thing" for the school year. They're sharing tips for parents on keeping kids aware of surroundings, safe on bikes and ATVs, and encouraging a digitally healthy summer ahead.
Once again, we are grateful to SRO Beauchamp and SRO Bernardy for their unwavering support of our school community. They are champions for our students and teammates to our staff and parents. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the Manhattan Police Department next year!
