Info for Manor Parents

Manor Parents,
it’s Spring Faire time!

The Manor Faire has happened for over 27 years because parents like you volunteered to bring smiles to our children’s faces. We need a huge number of volunteers for this event to happen.

Planning Meetings

Each planning meeting focuses on the various activities needed to produce the Faire. It’s a fun, focused way to meet other parents and lend your talents and voice to our community.

Every Friday
