Activities at Manatee Elementary
At Manatee Elementary, there is a lot more to education than just learning in the classroom. Students have many opportunities to get involved outside the classroom, which allows them to grow academically and socially as well as promoting self-confidence and leadership skills.
Clubs and Organizations
Morning announcements
Manatee Elementary's morning announcements are broadcast live to all of the classrooms and are watched on the large projector screens by the whole student body every morning. The morning announcement crew consists of 4th and 5th-grade students. For more information, please contact Media Specialist Ms. Whitaker.
Safety patrol
The Safety Patrol at Manatee Elementary is fifth-grade students who are selected based on personal character and leadership skills. They have many responsibilities in the morning and afternoon. These include, but are not limited to, helping students in and out of their cars, getting families safely across the car exit and monitoring the incoming and outgoing student traffic in the hallways. These helpful school community leaders have done wonders in creating a safe environment while developing lifelong skills that will propel them into success in their future endeavors.
