What is “Manna”, as we affectionately call it? It is our PTO’s annual fundraiser where parents can get to know each other in a social setting beyond the Mann blacktop and help raise funds for our school! It helps fund everything from enrichment programs to field trips.
Check out some of the local businesses who are donating services and products through our Silent Auction!






Do you have something that you can provide for our Silent Auction? Maybe it is sporting event tickets or a restaurant gift card? We are also looking for Parent Parties! Send a note to our fundraising team mannapalooza@gmail.com.

What is your role at Mann?
I get to work with all your kiddos as a Media Assistant at the library and I love every minute of it!
How long have you been in this role?
I started during the pandemic, when the kids couldn't even come into the library, so I have been at Mann just over two years now. It's so much better now that Mrs Baylian and I get to show off our amazing library and see all the kids every week.
If you had a superpower, what would it be?
Oooh, teleportation would be my pick for a superpower, as long as I could sneak my family with me. We love to travel together and it just wouldn't be the same without them.
Fun Facts
I have been married for (almost) 20 years to my husband Aaron. We have two kids Claire (10) and Owen (13), and a puppy named Trixie (who is almost one) and a 17 year old cat named Dashiell.
My other "work" is as an artist. I LOVE all sorts of creative endeavors. I have been hired to do lettering work and illustrations all around Oak Park (Including all over the library and on the front windows of the school).
I have a goal to visit all of the 63 national parks. We're planning on hitting 5, in Utah, this spring break.

Congratulations to all of D97's National Board Certified Teachers, but a special congrats goes to Mann's own Kindergarten teacher,
Mrs. Hwang!
We are all so proud of you!
