Mustang Round-Up

Mustang Round-Up. The purpose of this all school get-together is to build
community and to celebrate many of the great things happening at our site.
Site Council
The Manzanita School
Council was established in 1995 to develop an ongoing partnership between the
school and the community. We are dedicated to improving the quality of
educational experiences at our campus. Each year, the council explores and
investigates academic and social topics that are of interest to the school
community, and aligned with the district’s strategic plan. In the past, such issues as improved
school safety and security, math, spelling, modified school calendar, drug
prevention awareness for parents and intermediate students, the creation of a
school compact, the coordination of a community-wide school beautification day
and opportunities for families to be involved in science and arts experiences,
have been the focus of the group’s efforts.
The Council is comprised of 10 members: three
parents, three certified staff, one classified staff member, one community
member and the principal. This year, we will welcome a couple of new members.
Members must commit to attend four to six meetings; dates and times shall be
determined by the membership.
If you have an interest in joining, please
complete the application attached to this newsletter. The information requested
is designed to formulate a Council that is representative of the school
community. The application is due
in the office no later than Wednesday, October 22.
If you have questions, please contact Mrs.
Nichols at 209-7800 or via e-mail.
Have a lovely Fall Break!
