This past weekend, the hard work of Manchester Township School District's students was evident during events happening across the township!
Students and staff have been proudly providing support to the Manchester Recreation Department during the months leading up to Christmas in the Pines. A grand holiday event, students and staff provided day and night performances for attendees to enjoy. Student and staff volunteers also could be found handing out snacks, s'mores, hot chocolate, and supporting Santa as his trusty elves. It was a wonderful event enjoyed by all!
Manchester Township High School was buzzing this weekend as well as it hosted community events. On Saturday, the MTHS Township NJROTC Cadets hosted their Annual Pearl Harbor Memorial Drill Meet and competition. Twelve (12) schools from NJROTC Areas One, Two, and Three with over 600 students were in attendance. The schools traveled from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware to compete. The students of MTHS not only competed in numerous events but coordinated and ran the entire drill meet. MTHS NJROTC Cadets learned valuable leadership lessons by setting an example for their fellow Cadets from the visiting schools through expertly managing a large-scale competition. Congratulations to the NJROTC Cadets of MAST (The Marine Academy of Science and Technology) for placing as the overall winners for the drill meet!
Then on Sunday, the same spaces at MTHS were transformed for the National Honor Society's Hawk Craft & Vendor Fair! Over 70 tables were available and hundreds of community members came to shop and enjoy the wonderful event put on by our students and staff that day!
