Mann Elementary Spring Fundraiser 2026

04/13/2026

We want to highlight something special at this year's Carnival and Auction!

🧱 Own a brick from the original 1917 building, carefully salvaged from the north side of the building during recent construction. Each brick features a plaque, a certificate of authenticity, and an informational page about the history of brick making in Iowa City.

These are not up for auction, but instead you can "Buy Now." Pick them up at the Spring Carnival, April 18th, 2-4 pm. All funds raised go directly to support the teachers, staff, and students at Mann. 🐴💙

Please share with anyone from the Mann community, past, present, or future! A limited quantity is currently available, but if more bricks can be salvaged this summer we will work to offer more at a later date!

A special thank you to Mr. Green for saving these beauties!
