Dear Colbert Families,

Thank you so much for joining us at our fall conferences. Your presence and involvement mean a lot to us and, most importantly, to your child’s growth and success. These conferences are a valuable opportunity to strengthen our partnership and support your child's learning journey.

As the cold weather settles in, please remember to dress your child warmly with coats, hats, gloves, and boots. If you need assistance in providing any of these items, don't hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help.

Warm regards,

Cari Trowbridge

Principal

A BIG thank you to our Colbert PTO for sponsoring our annual 4th grade field trip to the Fox Theater to hear our fantastic Spokane Symphony play. Students have been learning about the different sections of the orchestra and the instruments in these sections. It was a thrilling experience to hear these musicians live! If you want to experience this music with your child, get a ticket to an upcoming symphony performance. FYI: K-12 students get in free to all Masterworks Series concerts.

The Holiday Season is just around the corner. Our Tree of Sharing opens on Tuesday, November 12th. If your family could use a little help this Thanksgiving and/or Christmas please fill out the form below and return it to school by Friday, November 8th. These forms were also sent home at your child’s conference. If you need Christmas support, be sure to fill out the Wish List Form as well. If you have any questions please email or call Jenn Hoglund at jennifer.hoglund@mead354.org, 509-465-6367.
