A Note From Our Administrators
Dear Manor Woods Community,
We would like to take this time to acknowledge our PTA for their hard work this year. The last two years were full of twists and turns as we navigated Covid, and the limits put on our community and school-wide events. Together with the administrative team, our PTA thought outside of the box to continue providing us with activities and support.
Throughout the year, we had PTA monthly meetings where Mrs. Marva Booth, President, moved us along with the help of the board and our committee chairs. We would like to acknowledge Mrs. Booth and the PTA executive board for their hard work, flexibility, and willingness to do what is right for children. They worked hard to provide for the students, organizing a fun movie night, a Duck Dash, Book Club, and a Duck Disco among other things. We are so appreciative of our group of volunteers! They worked well together and provided wonderful opportunities for students and staff alike.
As we move forward into next year, it is our hope to invite more and more families into the building to volunteer, read, and work with our students. Community is important in the success of our school. We have a collaborative community, and we encourage you to support the PTA and the school as we move into the 22-23 school year.
Thank You,
Carol DeBord

The Howard County Library System
The Howard County Library System loves connecting with students, families and staff at your school!
We are eager for families to know all the free, fun, and excellent enrichment they can get at the Library this summer. We've attached a summer reading promotional toolkit, with newsletter and social media content pre-written (English and Spanish) and a great video. Please click here to view promotional toolkit and click here for more details.
We are working to increase summer reading participation and support students having a literacy-rich break. Every elementary student will receive a paper gameboard through their media specialist during a presentation on HCLS summer reading. We hope your students read all summer and complete the game! In the fall, we will give every school that achieves 15% completion a certificate and additional recognition.
