Keynote speaker Phil Boyte got yesterday's District Orientation Day off to a boisterous start, during his presentation, "Creating a School No One Wants to Leave."

Yesterday, Mike Suto from Franklin Covey’s Leader in Me program brought our secondary teachers together for leadership training that focused on reflection, growth, and leading with intention.
Leader in Me is centered around the idea that when we raise expectations, we help shape better outcomes—for our schools, our students, and our communities.
It’s a reminder that meaningful change happens in the small, everyday choices we make together.

Opening a locker for the first time is a rite of passage that comes with its own kind of pressure. 😅 Incoming sixth graders gave their combinations a whirl during yesterday's orientation.
Thanks to all the students and parents who joined us at the Secondary School to get the lowdown. It's going to be a great year! ✏️🎒

🎉 Shoutout to Edgar Salamanca and the CIS NCW Team! 🎉
At the July Manson School Board meeting, Edgar Salamanca—Program Director for Communities in Schools (CIS) North Central Washington—was honored with a certificate of recognition by Superintendent Tabatha Mires for his positive impact on youth across our region. Manson staff also gave well-deserved kudos to CIS superstars Celina Mendoza (elementary school) and Oscar Herrera (secondary school) for their amazing work with our students.
CIS's mission to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and succeed in life—and Edgar is proof of that mission in action. Born in Yakima, raised in Wisconsin, and now a Wenatchee resident of 13 years, Edgar brings heart and dedication to everything he does.
“Supporting students and families to ensure that they can be successful in all aspects of life is a lifelong goal of mine,” he said.
Thank you, Edgar, Celina, Oscar, and the entire CIS NCW team—you are making a difference every single day. 💪💛 #WeAreManson #CISNCW #StudentSuccess #ThankYou #EducationMatters

Eggcellent news! Every shell survived the first round of our summer school egg drop!
The tension was high, the boxes were sealed, and gravity was ready to do its worst… but guess what? Every. Single. Egg. Survived. Round one of the Great Egg Drop was a smashing success, minus the actual smashing part.
Round two, here we come. Let’s see if these shells can keep their streak alive. But for now, let’s give a big round of applause for the unbreakable creativity and teamwork that kept those eggs intact. 🎉🥳

Our leaders are learners too! Manson staff joined educators from across Washington this week at the WASA MTSS Conference to strengthen systems that support every student. Focused on innovation, inclusion, and inspiration, our team is committed to making sure all students graduate future-ready and prepared to take on the world! 🌎🎓

Big congratulations to Manson students Kendal Alanis and Chloe Parkhurst, and the Feat of Freedom Dance team, who recently competed in The Spotlight Dance Cup: Pacific Northwest National Dance Finals in Seaside, Oregon. Their large group routine from the musical "Six" earned them first place overall in their division and category. Way to represent, ladies!
