Horace Mann: What can YOU do to help?

• Join the Horace Mann PTA – our email blasts will let you know when fun

things are happening on campus and if we need volunteers.

• Encourage your neighbors with children to support the school by actually

ENROLLING their children at Mann. API scores do not tell the whole tale of a school, and are not an indicator of your child’s individual success.

• Sign up for Ralph’s Rewards and E-scrip – it’s quick and easy and money

comes DIRECTLY to the PTA for Campus Beautification.

• Support Sasha's Mann Fundraiser – 10% of profits go towards Horace Mann:

November 13th – 16th.

• Volunteer your time and expertise for our Library and Computer lab.

For More information, contact mannpta@verizon.net
