We have made the tough decision to postpone tomorrow’s Duck Dash until next Friday, November 10. While we are upset that the weather is not cooperating for us to hold the event tomorrow, we would rather ensure that all students are able to participate and have a great day!
A few important notes:
Volunteers: we recognize and apologize for this inconvenience. We hope that you are still able to join us next week, but if you are not able to do so, please remove your availability from the sign-up genius so that others can take your place. The schedule of events will remain the same next week. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084AA4AF23A1F9C07-45377640-mwes
Fall classroom parties will still take place tomorrow!
Event t-shirts will now be distributed next week
Keep fundraising! Individual, class, and grade prizes are still up for grabs. Fundraising closes next Friday, November 17. And, if we reach our $30,000 goal, we will also be working on an in-school event for all students this winter!
We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait for a drier Duck Dash next week!
If you have any questions, please reach out to Allie Panetti or Hannah Zirrolli, Duck Dash Committee Co-Chairs at manorwoodsfundraising@gmail.com.
Thank you all for your support and generosity! We couldn’t do all that we do without you!

Here's how you can help:
Did you know that our school can earn rewards every time you shop at Harris Teeter?! Link your VIC card to MWES today by asking the cashier to link to your school at checkout using your school’s 4 digit code (1993) or link your VIC card on Harris Teeter's app or website (you will need to be logged into your personal Harris Teeter account). Once you've done that, SHOP for HT brand products, or pick up your prescription through our pharmacy to earn money for your school! Last year, 25 participants earned our school over $450. Let's see if we can double that this year!
