Thank you, Families!

Thank you for the end-of-year gift cards.  We appreciate your kindness ♥.  
 We are also very thankful for your generous, valuable time volunteering in and out of the classroom throughout the year.  Because of you, we can do so much more for the students.  We thank you! 

New Books to Explore
Yesterday I spent 2 blissful hours at the Gig Harbor Library. 
During my search I found several new books/series 
that the Manatees will "gobble up!".
 Some are nonfiction, some are chapter books, some are series, 
but all of them would interest Manatee students.  
Click on the book to purchase on Amazon.com, or
go to Pierce County Library to reserve a copy. 
Enjoy!
