Manual Academy recently hosted a Curriculum Fair for all grade levels on January 24th. Course information, samples of student work, visuals, projects, powerpoints, and much more were made available for viewing. Various staff members were present to answer any questions. Please click the link above to view the slideshow. It will take 5 to 6 minutes to view the slides from start to finish. Thank you to all the families and community members who attended this very informative event.

We all heard the phrase, "I never win anything." Well, not this time. Congratulations to Narissa Skinner, who won the drawing for a free iPad. Narissa is a student in Mr. Weisberg's Introduction To Architecture and Construction class. She was attending the Career Expo Discovering Manufacturing field trip. With over 700 students attending and one iPad given out, this must be Narissa's lucky day. "Not so", says Mr. Weisberg. "Narissa is a hard working student and luck has nothing to do with that. Let's just say the stars rewarded her due to the excellent work and effort she puts forth in the classroom."
