May is Visual Arts Month At Mansfield School
When you visit Mansfield School for the Community Resource Fair (May 1,) the Drama Club Play (May 13,) and the Spring Concert (May 15,) be sure to walk through the halls and appreciate the beautiful art work created by our students in grades kindergarten thru sixth. You will be amazed at their talent and creativity.

May is also“Get Caught Reading Month”
During the month of May, pick a day & plan an activity to “Get Caught Reading!” Some ideas to celebrate the month: visit a library; read a chapter book to younger children or a novel to older children; have your children read to you; shut the TV off one night and have the entire family read instead. Have fun reading!
