🐋💙 MANATEE APPRECIATION WEEK RECAP 💙🐋

What an unforgettable week at Manatee Elementary! We are still riding the wave of excitement after a full week of laughter, learning, school spirit, and so much community love.

From start to finish, Manatee Appreciation Week was packed with joy—and it’s all thanks to YOU, our incredible families, staff, and especially our generous business partners who helped make every day feel like a celebration. Your support brought the energy, the treats, the surprises, and the memories our students will talk about all year long!

We put together a special recap video so you can relive all the fun moments and see the amazing partners who helped bring it all to life:

Here’s to keeping that Manatee pride going strong all year long!

🌴☀️ Sunshine, Smiles, and SO much Gratitude! ☀️🌴

What a way to wrap up an absolutely amazing Manatee Appreciation Week as we celebrated Florida Team Friday! 🐊🌊 From start to finish, this week was full of sunshine vibes, sweet treats, and the very best kind of community love.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make today unforgettable:
💛 Barb Arnold, Dunkin', and Lucky Goat Coffee - Viera Boulevard for kicking off our morning with the perfect breakfast boost
🥪 Ruso Orthodontics for the incredible build-your-own pub sub bar and refreshing drinks all week long
🥧 Jaime Lynn Rhude and The Lande Group of Denovo Realty for that delicious key lime pie (a true Florida favorite!)

Every detail brought the Florida theme to life, and our staff felt the love in the biggest way possible!

And of course… a GINORMOUS shoutout to our PTO 💙 — the heart behind it all. Your generosity, creativity, and dedication made this entire week so special for our Manatee family.

We are beyond grateful, incredibly spoiled, and so proud to be part of this community. 🌴💛
