A HUGE congratulations to the these students who have earned high school elective/foreign language credit and are on their way to earning a Seal of Biliteracy upon high school graduation. Students in 8th grade have had the opportunity to take an elective class led by Ann Marie Wisdom called STAMP. In class, students engage in learning tasks that strengthen their Spanish skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. In February 2026, these students took an assessment in Spanish called Avant STAMP. STAMP stands for Standards Based Measurement of Proficiency and can be used to show competency towards high school foreign language credit as well as to earn the Seal of Biliteracy. The Seal of Biliteracy is established to recognize public high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing in one or more world languages in addition to English. Students earn a Seal of Biliteracy on their high school diploma when they score a level 4 on the STAMP test and earn their high school English credits.

Attention Manson Families: The Boys and Girls Club has the Flag Football league starting up. See information on flyer.

Mrs. V's first grade class celebrated 100 days of school yesterday! Students had so much fun participating in engaging activities all centered around the number 100!

On Friday, March 6, our middle school staff engaged in a meaningful and energizing professional development day. We began the morning with a Habits of the Mind leadership activity, continuing our intentional focus on building leadership across our middle school community. This month, we centered on Habit Three: "Put First Things First," reflecting on how effective leaders prioritize what matters most. Anita Johanson thoughtfully designed and facilitated an engaging activity that challenged us to consider how we allocate our time and energy—both in our daily responsibilities and in our long-term goals. The conversation was reflective, practical, and inspiring, reinforcing our shared commitment to leading with purpose and focus in service of our students and one another.

This Friday Manson Elementary staff collaborated and reflected on their recent instructional rounds. Instructional rounds are a way for teachers to watch their colleagues teach so they can learn from each other. One of the most important steps of this strategy is creating time and space for reflection. This is all being spearheaded by our amazing Reading Specialist Cassie Williams. We are lucky to have Cassie at Manson Elementary!

Congratulations to Manson High School Class of 2026 Salutatorian Yaritza Villasenor and Valedictorian Amelia Sivertson!

Mr. Fox's bowling unit officially rolled into action this week. All 2nd - 5th graders not only learn the basics of bowling: stance, aim, foot pattern...they also learn how to score using the complicated scoring rules.

Its National School Breakfast Week and we're on a quest for school breakfast!

Did you know that students who eat breakfast the morning of a standardized test achieve 17.5% higher scores on average than those who do not eat breakfast? Stop by the cafeterias in the morning before class and enjoy a tasty selection of items including homemade biscuits, fresh fruit, and a variety of entrees. All meals at Manson are offered at no cost!

Kindergarteners are learning how to keep a steady beat in Mrs. Whitney's music class.

Manson 9th graders had a fantastic visit to Central Washington University, sponsored by Gear Up. Students toured campus tour, enjoyed awesome food, experienced the very cool planetarium and even spotted some Manson alumni along the way. Experiences like these help students start imagining their future after high school!

February is CTE Month!

Career & Technical Education programs give students hands-on, real-world learning experiences that build skills for college, careers, and beyond. From industry certifications to leadership opportunities, CTE empowers students to discover their passions and graduate future-ready.

Thank you to our incredible CTE teachers and students for the innovation, creativity, and hard work you bring to our schools every day! #WeAreManson

Manson High School was selected as the smallest school in a highly competitive field to receive a $100,000 grant from Microsoft, a major recognition of our school and staff!
