Dear Students and Families,
Christmas is such a magical time! I fondly remember celebrating with friends and family during my childhood, cherishing the traditions that we still celebrate today. When I think of this season, I picture the beautiful lights, the decorated trees, ole Saint Nick, and most importantly, the Baby in the manger.
I have been truly blessed to witness the magic of the holidays reflected on each and every student's face over the past few weeks. I know they are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Santa and looking forward to celebrating this special time of year with those who mean the most to them.
Let’s remember to spread kindness and generosity in our homes and communities. Each small act of kindness can make a significant difference, especially during this special time of year.
On behalf of all the teachers and staff at Manila Elementary, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing you all in 2025!
Warmest Holiday Wishes
Mr. John Burrow
Manila Elementary Principal
