Why:

When Manual reopened in 2007, we committed to beat the odds for our students. At this year’s breakfast we will meet the first new graduates who are beating the odds.
Moving forward, high school is once again in a transition point. We are determined to help find a long term solution at principal and provide ongoing stability and growth. In order to do this Friends of Manual is:

Supporting the search for a new principal by contracting an outside recruitment specialist to guide the process and cover the cost of the search.
Advocating for a feeder school or program so that Manual can have a direct pipeline of students in grades 6-12.
Continuing to support key activities that enhance the Manual experience.

How:

Volunteer your time to recruit other people to attend the breakfast.
We can use your talents in assisting the organization, the students and the breakfast through donations of in-kind services and other activities.
Donate to help the students and the school. You can give online by going to www.friendsofmanual.org.
