The picture above was taken during our Back To School Bash in August. Students received free school supplies courtesy of the Horace Mann Alumni, enjoyed video games on the game truck and slid down inflatable slides. Families also met their child's teacher, signed up for the after school program and won free gym uniforms in a raffle. It was a great event to start the school year and we're looking forward to helping students grow academically by leaps and bounds. We look forward to partnering with you this year.
