Parker-Varney grade 5 students thank you

Dear Manchester School District Employees,

We, the Parker Varney 5th Graders, would like to say thank you for the support that you have given us for our project based learning unit -- a fundraiser for the Liberty House transitional shelter for Veterans. The district-wide Employee Jeans Day raised $4,000.

We presented our donations to the Director of the Liberty House at a holiday luncheon, which took place at Manchester School of Technology. The veterans who were in attendance were overwhelmed with the support and especially liked the homemade snowmen filled with daily care items. WMUR broadcast coverage of the celebration of our collective efforts.

Thank you for showing us the strength and power that we have as part of this community.

Sincerely,

5th Grade Student Leaders
