HAPPY HOLIDAYS! You are cordially invited to be a Partner for Excellence! We invite all parents, alumni and friends of our Manual community to be a Partner for Excellence by donating to our all school campaign. No donation is too big or small. Every contribution makes a difference. ALL funds raised go directly to this campaign. If your company has a matching charitable giving program (GE, Humana, UPS, YUM Brands! have programs), we will happily help with the paperwork. Donations are tax deductible. The goal this year is to raise $36,299.00 to fund the following: $12,350 to add an AirPhone Security System to our YPAS (Youth Performing Arts School) main building and the YPAS annex. $9,700 would fund two additional security cameras for our main parking lot and an Interlogix NVR video recorder to all network cameras. $5,500 is needed to have faculty trained to deliver an Advanced Placement Seminar / Research course. $8,749 to purchase 10 new digital keyboards (pianos) for the YPAS Music Department’s theory/keyboard lab.
Below are the easy ways you can continue Manual's tradition of excellence:
1) Make a donation via PayPal using "donate here" buttons on the school website, on the PTSA website, and on the Manual Alumni website
2) Drop your check in the donation boxes in the main office at Manual or YPAS
Thank you for your continued support of our wonderful staff and students!
