Please email Coleman PTA with any questions at colemanwildcatspta@gmail.com. The 8th Grade Dance will be April 28th from 6PM to 8PM.
Parents, please drop off your food and drink donations between NOW and 10AM on Friday at the Front Office OR feel free to drop off your donations in the carpool lane from 8:40AM to 9:10AM on Friday. Two PTA representatives will be in the carpool lane with a cart to collect donations. If you still want to donate food and drinks, please use the following link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090E44ACAB2BA13-shamrock1.
Chaperones, please park in any available spot, including the back parking lot along Hill Street or in front of the school along Main Street. If you could arrive shortly before 4:00PM to avoid the rush of kids at dismissal, that would be best. Thank you so much for volunteering your time! We still welcome more chaperones!
