It has been a short but busy week across the Manchester Township School District (MTSD) as schools and departments all over town came together to give thanks to each other and their school communities in many fun ways throughout their school days!
On Wednesday Manchester Township Elementary School (MTES) held the 6th Annual Day Before Thanksgiving Parade! Another great example of how our schools keep the fun in curriculum, this parade featured the hard work of the 3rd grade students who developed, created, and showcased their parade floats to the MTES community. The parade was live streamed to all of the classrooms and began with an official ribbon cutting by Principal Healy and Vice Principal Johnston. The parade mimicked some of the same traditions found in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, kicking off with the turkey float and ending with Santa coming to town! Before students headed back to class, they sang Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer as school mascot Maverick the Dragon danced to their singing.
It was a great day of celebrations across the other schools which also hosted feasts, parades, and Thanksgiving parties in celebration. The Manchester Township School District wishes all students, staff, and community a Happy Thanksgiving! The school district is closed on Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving Recess. We look forward to welcoming students back to class on Monday, December 2.
