Info for Manor Parents

Manor Parents,
it’s Spring Faire time!

The Manor Faire has happened for over 26 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
March 15th – May 3rd – 8:30am-9:30am
Manor School Library
Attend in person OR via Zoom

Volunteer Registration

Putting on an event of this scale requires a team of planners and more than 100 day-of volunteers. We are asking all Manor Parents to volunteer for at least one shift, if you are able to. Volunteer shifts are available on a first come, first serve basis, so sign up soon to get your preferred time and activity!

Bake Sale Registration

Small Toy Donations

• Small Toys: Seeking small toys (smaller than 6”) to be given away as prizes for the games. Only gently used toys, nothing broken please.
• Drop Off Donations: Drop off your donations in the Manor School Office starting after Spring Break.
• No Books/Clothes: We are not doing the book and clothing sales this year. We are hoping to have a dedicated event for parent swap meet for clothes and books on a separate date.
