This past Friday night, the PTO hosted the Snowflake Kids Tricky Tray, and the kids truly had an amazing time. One of the most meaningful moments of the evening was seeing how genuinely the students cheered each other on as their peers won prizes. It was a powerful reminder of the kindness, encouragement, and sense of community our children are learning every day. Witnessing that level of support and sportsmanship speaks volumes about the values being instilled in them — values that are reinforced both at school and at home with your families. It was truly special to see.

Thank you to our families, faculty, staff and businesses for supporting our students and fostering such a positive environment. We are also incredibly grateful for the generous donations that made this event possible — whether through donating time, contributing baskets, or helping organize class baskets. Every effort played a part in creating opportunities like this for our kids.

With sincere appreciation,
Manito PTO
