🦁PRIDE Program Referral – Academically Gifted & Talented Students 🦁
Does your child demonstrate strong academic abilities, advanced thinking, curiosity, or a passion for learning? Manning Elementary is now accepting referrals for consideration for placement in the PRIDE Program for Academically Gifted and Talented Students! 📚✨ Parents/guardians may refer their child for consideration. The referral begins an assessment process to determine whether the student meets the South Carolina state criteria for placement in the program.
📌 Important: Submitting a referral does not guarantee placement. Students will participate in the appropriate assessment process, and eligibility will be determined based on state criteria.
🗓️ Referral/Application Deadline: September 30, 2026
If you believe your child may benefit from consideration for the PRIDE Program, please make sure the referral application is submitted by the deadline. Referral forms are available in each school’s assistant principal’s office. Let's continue to recognize and nurture the unique talents and academic potential of our Manning Monarchs! 🦁

Through food, traditions, visuals, and personal experiences, Mr. Rondina gave students an opportunity to learn about the Philippines while building a deeper appreciation for the many cultures and experiences that make our school community special. 🌏✨
Learning about one another’s cultures helps our students develop curiosity, respect, understanding, and a greater appreciation for diversity. What a wonderful way to bring learning to life beyond the textbook!
Thank you, Mr. Rondina, for opening the door for our students to learn, experience, and celebrate Filipino culture!

Friday, our amazing 5th graders spread a little love and life throughout our school! 🌿 They delivered plants to the front office and cafeteria for others to enjoy. As part of their Science learning, students propagated these plants while making observations and exploring what plants need to grow; sunlight, air, and water. 🌱☀️💧
In honor of the observance of September 11th, our students were reminded that, just like plants, love, kindness, and remembrance can take root and continue to grow. ❤️🇺🇸
🌿 Rooted in Love
📚 Growing Through Science
❤️ Honoring Through Remembrance
We are so proud of our 5th graders for turning their learning into an opportunity to brighten someone else’s day!! 🌱❤️🇺🇸
