The Manor Life Skills T-shirt store is officially open!
This is the 3rd year Mrs. Wagner's class has completed this work project and we hope to continue the tradition of great community support. T-shirt sales help this class attend different trips and community outings throughout the entire school year.
Each student in the Life Skills classroom has designed their very own t-shirt this year! Each student chose a message they wanted to share with the world, they researched different quotes or sayings that contained the message, took a trip to TeamWorks and then the fun began! They worked one-on-one with a TeamWorks employee, choosing the font of their words, the colors they wanted to incorporate, the color of their shirt, and a tour of the workshop to watch how shirts are made from start to finish. We thank TeamWorks for this valuable partnership!
Hop online and shop today!
