AccountDear Families,
We're already nearly two weeks into the school year, and it's wonderful to see everyone settling into the rhythm of new routines. Classrooms are buzzing, students are finding their stride, and the year is picking up speed.
We're excited to share that PTSA membership is growing and donations are starting to come in—thank you to everyone who has already contributed! Let's keep the momentum going and work toward 100% membership this year—every family makes a difference.
One of our favorite traditions, the Bike Derby, is just around the corner! It's always a fun and active event for students and families alike. You can find all the details here—we hope you'll join in the excitement.
We're also launching our PTSA newsletter this fall to keep you up to date on events, programs, and opportunities to get involved. Look for it soon so you won't miss a thing.
Together, we're off to a strong start. Let's keep the momentum going for an amazing school year ahead!
Warmly,
Your PTSA Board

Donate to our annual direct-giving campaign, the Colt Corral Fund, and receive fun incentives! With your financial support, we aim to fully fund the 2025-26 PTSA year without needing additional fundraisers.
A one-and-done donation of $80 per student will ensure we reach our goal. We know that is not realistic for many families, so we are asking you to give whatever you can. Some can give less, and others can give more - but EVERY DOLLAR HELPS and is greatly appreciated.
Incentives available through 10/31
Donate Now →Horace Mann Elementary is grateful to the many volunteers who help our students grow - from providing extra reading help to planning class parties and art lessons, our school functions with the help of many generous volunteers.
