Fundraising Initiatives
The PTO is proud to invest directly in the experiences that help our students and teachers thrive. Donations make it possible for us to provide enriching programs, bring engaging assemblies to the school, support teachers and staff, enhance technology and equipment, and host community-building events that bring families together. Every contribution goes right back into strengthening our school community and creating opportunities that benefit every student.
 
How we raise funds...
Students, families, teachers, staff, and local businesses work together to accomplish these goals by:
- 
Supporting our Duck Dash- FUN RUN!
 - 
Participating in Restaurant Nights
 - 
Buying Spirit Wear
 - 
Joining the PTO
 - 
Submitting Box Tops for Education
 - 
Shopping at Harris Teeter, Amazon Smile, or other local and national retailers that give back to schools!
 
On behalf of our students, teachers and MWES community, thank you for supporting our school. We appreciate your generosity and we look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you.

 A huge thank you to our parents, volunteers, teachers, admin team, and especially our amazing Duck Dash Chair, Heather Pugh, for making this year’s Duck Dash such a success!  
We’re thrilled to share that we exceeded our fundraising goal—an incredible achievement made possible by everyone’s hard work and enthusiasm.
Even having to use our rain date couldn’t dampen our school spirit—and we were rewarded with perfect weather and an unforgettable day together!

Know a Local Business? Sponsorship has many benefits! While helping our students, our sponsors will benefit from exposure to the families and friends of our 700+ Manor Woods Elementary School students. The logos of our generous sponsors will be on display throughout our various social media platforms. Donors contributing $250 or more (cash or in-kind) will also have their logo appear on the back of our FUN RUN T-shirts, which will be worn at the FUN RUN, on fields trips and all-around town for years to come by some of the cutest advertising representatives you could ever hope for!
