Manchester Elementary School students in Mrs. Black's third grade music class are spreading holiday cheer through song! 🎵 Students are warming up their voices as they rehearse their songs for their upcoming holiday choral concert on Tuesday, December 10th at 6:00pm at South Dearborn High School. Their families and friends are in for a treat when they showcase their hard work and festive spirit. ❄️

Author Bethany Van Meter and her incredible dog, River, visited students from all three South Dearborn Community School Corporation elementary schools last week! River, who is blind and has his eyes sewn shut, joined Bethany as she shared her three inspiring illustrated children's books about River: "I See with My Heart," "I Got a Cat for Christmas," and "River Has a Purpose and So Do You!"
Students not only listened to these heartwarming tales but also had the opportunity to ask questions and share their own stories about their pets. Bethany’s powerful message to “be boldly kind” left a lasting impression on the students. What an unforgettable day of storytelling, learning, and connection!
We are grateful for Bethany and River visiting and spending time with our students!

Congratulations to these students for being chosen as November Students of the Month.

The kindergarten and sixth grade buddies enjoyed a Thanksgiving Feast today! The group had fun preparing for the feast. The sixth graders made placemats yesterday for the meal. Students mixed the pumpkin pie ingredients, laid out the rolls, set the tables, and served the pumpkin pie.
Thank you to Michelle Allison, Katie Engler, Emily Meyer, Kathy Carroll, and Carol Lane for helping with the pumpkin pies and to the cafeteria staff for all their help.
