Winter holiday vacation reading challenge results

By
The numbers are in for the winter holiday vacation reading challenge for elementary and middle school students. A total of 401 readers submitted their logs. Students in preschool through grade 5 spent 1,158 hours reading, while students in grades 6-8 read 170 books. 

Congratulations to the winners of the T-BONES and Cactus Jack's gift certificates raffle. They qualified to win just for turning in their completed reading records!

Thank you to our friends at the Manchester City Library, the local businesses that donated prizes to our readers, all of the students who participated this first time out, and their families and teachers for encouraging them. Watch for details on next year's program in the fall!

WANTED: Community professionals to participate in Career Day

By
On Wednesday, March 29, 2017, Manchester High School West is hosting a school-wide Career Day. The structure will be different from similar events that often follow a "career fair"-type format in which professionals representing various fields set up displays and wait to be approached by interested students. At West, every teacher will be matched with a guest speaker related to his or her subject area. For example, in the math department, one teacher may host an accountant while other math teachers host a stockbroker or a carpenter. Students will follow their regular schedules and be introduced to a different career field with each class change. Speakers are asked to give a hands-on or interactive presentation to the classes they meet. West is offering full-day and half-day sessions for interested professionals. Lunch will be provided in all sessions. Full day. 7:15 am - 3:00 pm Morning only, 7:l5 am - 11:30 am Afternoon only, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm Members of the com
