Manning's FAQ form about Outdoor Lab

There are students in Jeffco that do not have a permanent home or a hot meal to go home to at night. As educators we know this affects their ability to perform in the classroom, and as human beings we know what this can do to a student’s spirit. Every spring, Grub Club ensures all students experiencing homelessness or emancipation in Jeffco can have food and hygiene products throughout the school year.

This year Manning is collecting travel size hygiene products (full size are fine too!) Please consider sending in items to your students advisement classroom teacher. Manning PTA will provide a special treat for the top three advisement classes that collect the most items. Don't want to shop? Consider a monetary donation by clicking on the Grub Club pic and add Manning as your school name.

Career days give students access to various careers that can help them start planning for their futures. They allow students the opportunity to explore career experiences outside of community helpers, educators and what their parents and family members do. A successful career day can open students’ eyes to a world they didn’t know was an option. If you or someone you know would like present to our students, please email Laura Warren laura-warren@hotmail.com or Danelle Yocum danelle.yocum@jeffco.k12.co.us if you are interested or have any questions. Thank you!

The Gardening Club is getting off to a small start and needs donations and support. The Garden Club’s main focus is to start growing some flowers and other seedlings and to sell the plants in the spring to make money for next year.

We are in need of seed donations (leftovers from last year are fine), cups or small starter pots, seed trays, clear plastic juice bottles (to try winter sowing) and potting soil bags.

Please email Ms. K (kkeodone@jeffcoschools.us) to set up a drop off time and/or to ask questions.
Thank you,
