Thank you to all voters who participated in the April 7 election and took the time to consider Prop S.
On Tuesday, the unofficial results for Prop S, the proposed no tax rate change bond issue for the Meramec Valley R-III School District, showed 56.5% voter approval, falling short of the 57.14% required for passage by 22 votes.
This outcome means we will not be moving forward at this time with plans to construct a new middle school or address the identified facility needs across our schools, including important safety and security upgrades.
The Board of Education and administration remain committed to exploring options to address the district’s facility needs. We will continue engaging with community members and staff as we determine next steps and evaluate future solutions.
We appreciate your continued support of our students, staff, and schools.

Coleman Elementary welcomed alumni back to the classroom! 🎓
Ms. Diana, Ms. Vonda, and Ms. O’Halloran all started their journeys at Coleman Elementary. They shared that Ms. O’Halloran’s current classroom used to be the library!
We appreciate Ms. Diana for subbing and always love hearing stories from our alumni. 💜

Coleman Elementary 3rd graders wrapped up their Invisible Forces unit with hands-on learning focused on magnets and engineering! 🧲
Students applied their understanding by designing a magnetic lock that could open a paper door. Using the engineering design process, they tested and improved their creations with simple materials like notecards, paper fasteners, paper clips, and dot stickers. 💡

Coleman Elementary 1st graders in Mrs. Rodger’s class have been exploring weather during their science unit! ⛈️
Students took their learning outside, observing the sky and documenting different types of clouds as they watched them form and move.
The learning continued indoors as students created their own “cloud in a jar” using warm water, hairspray, and ice!

Students are enjoying the new additions to the hallway. Sensory hallways offer a wide range of benefits, including supporting self-regulation, promoting calmness and focus, encouraging physical activity, and fostering inclusion for students of all abilities.
Coleman Elementary students got creative in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀
After reading “How to Catch a Leprechaun,” students brainstormed their own ideas for catching a leprechaun and put their plans into action by building traps together!

Tuesday morning, Coleman Poms was presented their 3rd Place trophy for the Pacific Partnership St. Patrick's Day Parade. Congratulations!!
Coleman Elementary students wrapped up their King and Queen Core Knowledge Language Arts unit with a fun and engaging celebration. 👑
Students dressed as kings and queens and worked together to complete an exciting escape room challenge. With just 45 minutes on the clock, teams solved four worksheets, each revealing a number needed to unlock the four-digit code and rescue the princess from the dragon! 🐉

Mrs. Rodger's 1st grade class explored science in a fun and exciting way by creating a cloud in a jar!
They used a jar with warm water and a small amount of hairspray. The jar was sealed with a lid, and ice was placed on top to cool the air inside. This change from warm to cool created a foggy, cloudy reaction—just like a real cloud!
It was a great hands-on learning experience, and our students loved seeing science come to life! 🌥️✨
We had a successful night at our Culver’s Dine to Donate! 🎉
Thank you to everyone who came out, worked hard, and supported the cause. We truly appreciate each and every one of you. It was a fantastic time all around! 💙
