It has been a wonderful and special week in the Manchester Township School District (MTSD), celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week, Nurse Appreciation Day, and Bus Driver Appreciation Day!
We wore our Manchester Pride on Wednesday, sharing blue and gold threads, as we showcased that same pride all week long through our kind words of appreciation and actions for those who work so hard to support and educate our students.
Staff members were greeted daily in their buildings with signage, care, and special treats. From candy stations from the administration, hydration stations from the Manchester PTA, and even donated lunches from local businesses.
The Applebee's of Manchester not only joined other local businesses in offering school staff specials when they visited the restaurant this week, but also provided a full catered lunch for over 100 teachers at Manchester Township Elementary School, their neighborhood school!
Manchester Township High School's Tomorrow's Teachers students celebrated "luaud and proud" at MTHS on Wednesday morning as they traveled to every faculty member with their tropical cart fully stocked with teacher-requested treats, summertime music, and positive affirmations composed by their students.
Manchester Township Middle School (MTMS) ended a week of fun and appreciation with a special raffle for staff members. The winners of today's raffle are awarded VIP parking spots for May! Congratulations to MTMS 8th Grade Science teacher Ms. Elisa Wagner, who won a month in the Principal's Parking Spot, and congratulations to Ms. Katie Sherman, who won a month in the Vice Principal's Parking Spot!
Today was a special day dedicated to the Bus Drivers in Manchester Township. Bus Driver Appreciation was celebrated by the state during our spring recess, so we chose today as the special day to appreciate our bus drivers! They were presented with treats, as seen below from their morning stop at MTES, lots of handmade cards as shown from this class at Ridgeway Elementary, a banner with thank you notes from the MTHS students, and a beautiful breakfast spread in the Driver Room at the Transportation Hub, welcoming them and reminding them how thankful we are for their service.
Thank you to all of Manchester's staff for the excellence you bring to your jobs and our community, every day!
