As our 5th graders complete their journey through Hanawalt, we want to thank ALL of our wonderful teachers and staff for helping provide an incredible foundation for our children over the past six years!! Many of us remember our kindergarten years at Mannawalt….who could forget those days of putting our children on buses to go clear across town to school? Well, you quickly put us at ease as some of us reluctantly dropped off our little ones for their long bus ride to the south side. We knew they were in good hands with you!! Thank you for all of the great memories and for being the wonderful educators that you are! Your enthusiasm, kindness, creativity patience and love for our children will never be forgotten!


Wii also want to thank our AWESOME 5th Grade Celebration Committee Members who have been hard at work behind the scenes, attending meetings or have signed up to help on a committee!! And certainly last but not least!! A huge thank you to our 5th grade teachers and staff for their guidance and support in making this years celebration a wonderful experience!
