Warrior Wednesday! Paisley is a great friend. She always includes friends and is a great leader! Way to go Paisley!
PHS student council put together fun themed district-wide dress days for the week of Dec. 16-20. Plan accordingly, #MVNation!
4th graders gave a spectacular performance this evening. Students were dressed in festive wear as they sang holiday songs and drummed on the buckets. Great job Coleman Warriors!
November was a huge month of giving for Coleman Elementary. Students collected over 1,000 items during the school food drive, providing meals to families for Thanksgiving. The Gray Summit Masonic Lodge made a donation to purchase coats, shoes, and clothing, and the Local 513 Operating Engineers donated coats to our students who are in need. The Coleman Elementary community is so thankful for the support and generosity of our students and local organizations. You are all Difference Makers!
Last week, 4th graders had their field trip to JA BizTown. While exploring and working, students had the chance to discover careers, build financial skills, collaborate with classmates, exercise civic duties, invest in the community, and more!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Have you ever wondered why the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade started and the story behind the giant balloons? Our 3rd grade students can tell you all about it. Last week, they read "Balloons Over Broadway". The true story of Tony Sarg, the master puppeteer, and original creator of the balloons. In addition, our 3rd graders brainstormed, planned, and created their own balloons on Broadway. They watched a video about how the real Thanksgiving Day parade floats are made. So much creativity!
If you are having a hard time finding a turkey for Thanksgiving, you may have to look a little bit closer. Families at Coleman were given the challenge of disguising a Turkey as a book character to keep it from being eaten. This project went along with the book "Turkey Trouble". So many good ideas.
St. Bridget of Kildare will host its traditional Thanksgiving Dinner this Thursday, 11/28, at 223 W. Union St. in Pacific. All are welcome to partake, donate, and/or volunteer! Call 636-271-3993 x201 for info.
This week, second grade celebrated the end of their Ancient Greek Civilization unit in reading with Potato Olympics! Students' potatoes participated in the Olympic events of gymnastics, bowling, rolling, and dancing. This activity incorporated math, teamwork, sportsmanship, creativity, and a whole bunch of fun.
First grade finished Unit 3 in CKLA. In celebration, students dressed up to celebrate their unit on "Different Lands, Similar Stories”. There were three sections each containing similar stories from different lands. These included Cinderella, The Girl with the Red Slippers, and Billy Beg. In every story they lost a shoe and ended up getting married. The End!
Lots of fun this evening at McTeacher Night. So many friends and families visiting. We raised a little over $500. Thank you Pacific McDonalds.
Before heading into the #MVNation Fall Break next week, "share a slice of life." Give blood at the Coleman Elementary Blood Drive this Friday, Nov. 22, from 1:30-5:30 PM. Visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter ColemanES to schedule an appointment.
3rd Grade had a great performance this evening. Students had fun entertaining their families with their silly songs. Songs about tongue twisters, jokes, cows that say bow-wow, and a fun rendition of LOL to the YMCA, had people dancing in their seats. Do you know why gorillas have big nostrils? Because they have big fingers.
In celebration of Veteran's Day, our students and staff gathered for a special assembly. Students learned about the history of Veterans Day, and we honored the Veteran's in attendance. Thank you for your service.
