Hello Manual families,

Thank you to everyone who attended our Quarter IV conferences this week, we always love engaging with our families and partnering with our students for a strong finish to the school year.

Please see the attached letter for an update on the Principal Selection process at Manual. Also, there will be an in-person community forum in addition to the online process described in the letter here at Manual on Thursday, May 11th from 5:00 – 6:30 pm, and that information is attached as well.

Also, next week our production of Chicago opens. Please see below for a message from our amazing Ben Butler about a special experience for our Manual community:

Alright Community and Manual supporters…the spring production of Chicago is almost here! Performances will take place on May 18th, 19th, and 20th at the Dr. Joyce Marie Davis Auditorium at Manual. Please come out and support!

There will also be a special fundraising event on Friday, May 19th from 5:30pm-7pm right by the school. Join us for apps and community before we head over for the performance. Your $25 ticket for this event includes entry to the show. Use the link here to purchase!

If you would just like to purchase a ticket to a performance, not the party, please use the link in the comments to buy. Those tickets are $10. You can also purchase tickets the night of the event.

Let’s support our incredible Bolts! ❤️💙❤️💙
