Three . . . two . . . one . . . Blast off! This year’s space-themed Spring Carnival is a fundraiser for the Horace Mann Elementary School PTO and a community builder. The Carnival and online auction (April 26-May 4) are the PTO's primary fundraising events for the year. Proceeds support Mann teachers, staff, and students in a variety of ways, covering projects that are outside of the school's budget, such as field trips, assemblies, visiting authors/artists, and special curricular materials for teachers. Mann PTO also promotes a sense of belonging and community by sponsoring the back-to-school ice cream social every August, and they provide yearbooks and Mann t-shirts to students with financial need. Help them out and make plans to attend this fun event!
