AccountDear Families,
We're officially halfway through fall, and the energy around Horace Mann is as crisp as the weather outside! Thank you for filling our halls with warmth, enthusiasm, and school spirit - we are grateful for every family who keeps our community thriving.
Harvest parties are just around the corner next week, and we can already feel the excitement building. Our teachers and classroom leads have been dreaming up festive fun, and we're so grateful for the volunteers and families helping bring these celebrations to life.
Thank you to everyone who packed the gym for Movie Night - it was a huge success because of you! We also appreciate your patience and smiles during Picture Day, along with the care you showed while students participated in hearing and vision screenings. Together, these moments remind us how strong and supportive our community truly is.
Today we celebrated Unity Day - an annual reminder to choose kindness, acceptance, and inclusion in every interaction. Seeing our students and staff decked out in orange to take a stand against bullying was inspiring, and it reflects the heart of Horace Mann: every child welcome, every voice heard.
As October winds down, we can't wait to see all the creativity our Colts bring to Halloween costumes. Enjoy the rest of this cozy month, and thank you for making Horace Mann such a vibrant place to learn and grow.
Warmly,
Your PTSA Board
Horace Mann Elementary PTSA
Our next general membership meeting is Wednesday, November 20 from 6:30–7:30 PM in the Horace Mann library. We’ll vote on standing rules updates in addition to our usual business.
Please take a few minutes beforehand to review the recommended standing rules changes so you’re ready to discuss and vote.
The PTSA is a membership-driven association and your dues power the programs, grants, and volunteer support that make Horace Mann shine. Joining signals that you value every hour our volunteers invest in our students.
Memberships must be renewed each academic year and are specific to Horace Mann - even if you belong to other school PTSAs. There is no obligation to volunteer, though opportunities pop up all year if you want to jump in.
Members also receive the Colt Connection enewsletter so you never miss an update. Explore more FAQs on our membership page.
