📚 Throughout the month of July, we're sharing reading tips to help you get ready for the new school year. 📚 DEAR stands for 'Drop Everything and Read,' and it's a fun way to get everyone in the house reading together. Choose a time during the day, and when the time comes, drop what you're doing and dive into a good book! 📖

The 2023-2024 Mann Magnet Yearbook is facing a delay. We want to share the message we received to keep everyone informed. Originally scheduled for delivery on May 13, 2024, the yearbooks are delayed due to the printing plant transitioning to a new location. Alongside this, they're encountering staffing and equipment delays, pushing the delivery to June 28th. To mitigate the impact, they're offering to ship the books directly to students over the summer. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and understand this affects our yearbook traditions. To preserve some aspects, they're providing signature pages for students to "sign" and then insert into the yearbook. I am absolutely disappointed, I have been in contact constantly and will still continue to advocate on our behalf.
Please complete the attached information link to provide an address for the books to be shipped. Please indicate the name the book should be addressed to on the "student first name and student last name" spaces.

Yearbooks may still be purchased online and mailed to you. Please complete the link above once you purchase.
