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!
MJHS hosted our first-ever House Olympics, and it was a blast! Thanks to the over 180 students and staff who competed! A special thank you to our four student MCs, Blue Crew helpers and our SEL Committee for planning this, especially Mrs. Flavio! Winner will be announced Monday!
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!
