Thanks to @dr_aherne and @ManhattanSD114 for the kind note and this week’s #tshirttuesday! I love that Manhattan SD114 is focused on being champions for kids every single day.
NEW STAFF SPOTLIGHT: I am a recent graduate of Northern Illinois University, and have been with my girlfriend for 8 years. I have two dogs, Hunter and Paisley, who I’ve had since 2020. Lastly, I’m a diehard Vikings fan and love traveling to see new places.
On opening day, this dedicated group of staff members were recognized for having completed 5, 10, 20, 25, and 30 years of service in Manhattan School District 114! We've changed and grown but MSD114 remains a place "where we succeed together!"
The MSD114 staff officially returned this week! After weeks of setting up their spaces and preparing, they spent two days planning, collaborating, and setting intentions to be champions for our students and each other in the new year. Bring on the 2025-2026 school year!
MSD114 instructional leaders spent the day in Eureka Squared Mathematics LEAD training. They're equipped and ready to lead our K-8 staff and students through our new resources for math instruction!
Many thanks to Aidan Casey, former Manhattan 114 student, for serving our district through his Eagle Scout project. Aidan built a custom shelf to store instruments for Mrs. Miller-Amato's music classroom at Wilson Creek. Congratulations and thank you, Aidan!
Students attending Manhattan 114’s STEM Camp had a blast this week diving into animation, robotics, and engineering! Our food-themed projects and challenges served up some seriously tasty learning—STEM has never been so delicious! 🍕🤖📐
The Class of 2025 had a busy 2 days: their 8th-Grade Dance & Great America Trip! Thanks to Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Dobczyk, & all the staff that decorated for & chaperoned the dance as well as the staff & parents that went on the trip! Without them, these celebrations wouldn't happen!
