Manchester Township Elementary School (MTES) is all about community, and today, 300 MTES families joined their new Principal and Vice Principal for Pancakes with the Principals at Applebee's!
Principal Healy and Vice Principal Johnston joined the MTES Admin Team in their new roles for the 2024-25 school year. Mrs. Healy served as the MTES Vice Principal moving into the role of Principal for this school year. Mr. Johnston joined MTES as the school's Vice Principal later in the fall making this morning a wonderful opportunity for families who have not yet met their new MTES Administrators to enjoy a fun morning over a great meal together!
The Manchester Applebee's location was excited to host their neighborhood elementary school from 8-10 AM today. MTES teachers helped Mrs. Healy and Mr. Johnston serve delicious pancakes, scrambled eggs, coffee, and juice to MTES families. The smiling staff members came out to serve tables in support of the school's fundraising effort, including Maverick, the MTES Mascot!
Families were greeted warmly as they entered the restaurant by the MTES Front Office Staff. Staff and PTA Members escorted families to their tables where they were serving up the delicious breakfast as Maverick went table to table where MTES students were excited to greet him. One student even came with a beautifully colored dragon picture in hand, just for Maverick!
"MTES is truly a family inside and outside of the school doors," says Principal Ellen Healy. Today, you could feel the positive energy as our tight-knit community came together in such a wonderful way to support our school."
Today's MTES fundraiser goes directly to the Student Activity Fund for MTES students. These funds are used for extracurricular activities and trips that MTES students enjoy throughout the school year. The goal to have 100 MTES family members join for the breakfast fundraiser was well exceeded with 300 in attendance today.
Thank you to all of the families, staff members, our Superintendent of Schools, the MTEA, Applebee's, and all of your families who came to the event and made the morning a wonderful reminder of how together we achieve Excellence by Example.
