BIG THANK YOU to our STUDENT BUS MARSHALS & BUS DRIVERS (and Wildcat Parents) for a less-than-routine year. Over the past several weeks of the school year, we've "piloted" a program that used a few chosen older students from Manor under the guidance of bus drivers and the Transportation Director to be present on bus runs. The first two "Marshals" in the program were 7th graders, Collin McCarty & Jaxon White. We added a Marshal-in-training as well (Xavier Riggs, 7th gr. - not pictured). All three worked with drivers to make sure bus trips were as safe as possible. Again, a big thank you to Collin, Jaxon, & Xavier!
Reminder to all families that there will be NO after school Latchkey services tomorrow, May 25. Thanks!

Do you have any Washington Panther spirit wear or old uniforms you no longer wear? Feel free to drop them off at Beverly Manor to contribute to the Washington High School Cheer Team Garage Sale. Drop off any of your items until the end of the school year. Also, make sure to check out their sale - details can be found below.
See the attached flyer for information on school health requirements for the next school year. The flyer also has information on how to schedule vaccine appoints at Tazewell County Health Department.
It may sound crazy to be thinking of this stuff now as we are just ending our school year but getting these things done early and out of the way is always good and makes for one less thing to do in August!!
We had so much fun in Science Club yesterday trying to make ice cream in a bag! Students learned a lesson on how in science sometimes things work out great and sometimes you have to chuckle at the results!
Join us next week so you don't miss out on Elephant Toothpaste! We hope to see you there.
MANOR & HENSEY BUSES: Back to our 4-BUS PLAN until further notice (see Monday afternoon message for the details). THANK YOU
