Manatee Families,

Our cafeteria lost & found is overflowing with jackets and water bottles! If your student is missing an item, please encourage them to stop by and take a look tomorrow before dismissal or when we return from Christmas break.

Thank you for your help in reuniting these items with their owners! 😊
