Grants
In 2026, Ms. Palmer used her mini grant money to hold the first of many a Battle of the Books. Her 5th grade G&T students all worked so hard and a Ridgeway team took home the trophy. Well done to all!
In 2026, Ms. Baranyay hosted a Glow Day, with her mini grant money, for her third grade class in Whiting. They played math games, had fun all while it was dark and everything was glowing!
In the 2023-2024 school year the MTEF was proud to donate a grant for an early intervention bundle by School Health. These machines were delivered to Manchester Elementary School and are able to travel to our other elementary schools to help our school nurses with screening for hearing and vision.
