The 5th Annual Cupcake Wars
MANCHESTER –
Valentine’s Day was extra sweet and super creative during the 5th Annual Cupcake Wars at Regional Day School!
The Regional Day School students prepared for the competition with their teachers by planning, budgeting, shopping, prepping, baking and decorating each of their individual Pod’s cupcake submissions.
A-Pod created a S’Mores cupcake display;
B-Pod created a Valentine’s Flower cupcake bouquet; and
C-Pod created a Love Around the World cupcake heart.
Once the cupcake creations are on display, students, staff, and a panel of honorary judges consisting of district personnel, past personnel, and community members cast their votes. The fi rst round of judging was visual to determine the most creative cupcake display. Then each judge samples the cupcakes to determine the best taste. Finally, judges cast their votes for an overall winner.
Congratulations to A-Pod’s S’More’s cupcake for winning Most Creative! Congratulations to C-Pod’s Love Around the World cupcake for winning Best Tasting! Congratulation to B-Pod’s Valentine’s Flower Bouquet for winning Best Overall!

Valentine’s Dance Success
MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township School District in partnership with the community hosted a successful Valentine’s Day Dance with special needs students.
In its return since COVID, the Valentine’s Dance is an annual tradition of the school district. They are so grateful for those community members such as a special MTPD Officer who volunteered as a DJ, community businesses who donated food and drinks, staff and PTA members who volunteered their time and sweet treats for dessert, and every school in the district who had students contribute with beautiful artwork used for decorations.
