Warrior Weekly

Published October 4th

Highlights of the week!

Dear Coleman Families,

This week was full of excitement and hands-on learning, both in and out of the classroom!

Our Kindergarten Warriors enjoyed a delightful trip to Thierbach Orchards, where they connected their classroom lessons on apples and Johnny Appleseed to the real world. It was a fantastic way to bring learning to life!
Meanwhile, our 2nd grade Warriors ventured to Shaw Nature Reserve to dive into the world of Little House on the Prairie. The students truly enjoyed this immersive experience.
Thursday was extra special with Stuffy Day! Our students helped raise $403 for the United Way, and they had a blast doing it. Currently, Ms. Lewis’ class is in the lead for the chance to silly string me next Friday!

Don’t forget, Thursday, October 10th is our final United Way fundraiser. For just $1, students can enjoy a bag of popcorn and support this great cause.

Thank you for your continued support and for being such an important part of your child’s educational journey!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Dr. Quanz
Principal

They can tutor one child or several, on a one-on-one basis each week throughout the school year.
