At the Manning School, we pride ourselves on working hard to become the very best school in Boston.  We do this by being relentless in doing two things:

  1. Providing high level academics to all children, no matter where they start
  2. Creating an inclusive environment in which all students can succeed.  
We look forward to continuing to nurture our welcoming, inclusive environment so that each child can reach their highest potential academically and social-emotionally.  We are committed to making our school a place where students’ and families’ hopes and dreams come true.

EXCITING LIBRARY NEWS!

​In the new year we will be starting the process to automate and catalogue our school library. The catalogue improvements will allow us to scan books in and out when a student checks out or returns a book and help teachers see what books are available in our library.  We are looking for a team of parents willing to help us catalogue all our books. Training will be provided.
Training sessions and volunteer opportunities will be announced in January. 

MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS!

Picture
Each year, third grade Manning students study the life cycle by hatching ducklings or chicks.  They follow the ducks/chicks from eggs to ducklings/chicks and finally go on a field trip to return the ducks/chicks to a farm. As you can imagine, the kids love this unit and are engaged in the candling, hatching and development of the chicks; they have so much fun experiencing the life cycle and form bonds that inspire some of the children to return to the farm and visit their ducks/chickens even after they've said their formal goodbye. 

In order to give the students this opportunity, we need to buy a new incubator, in addition to the eggs, food and other necessities.  This will cost approximately $2000. We’re aiming to raise this money now so that we can begin the 2018-19 school year focused on learning and not fundraising.  PLEASE HELP US REACH OUR GOAL by donating any amount you can. Our students (and their caregivers) will be so grateful!  You can do so HERE.
