It was absolutely wonderful to see our Manatee Students decked out in RED today! Our hallways were filled with spirit as we came together to Remember Everyone Deployed.
Seeing our community unite to support our military families is what being a Manatee is all about. A huge thank you to every student, teacher, and staff member who participated in honoring those serving overseas.
