The roofing project is COMPLETE!! Parent pickup and drop off have returned to normal!! Thank you so much for all of your patience and understanding.
Congratulations to our 3rd and 4th grade Girls on the Run participants. On Saturday, they completed a 5k event in downtown St. Louis alongside thousands of others from around the region. This non-competitive race marked the culmination of a successful season for our Girls on the Run.
Coleman Elementary 1st graders in Mrs. Rodgers’ and Mrs. O’Halloran’s classes wrapped up their Language Arts lesson on “A New Nation: American Independence” with a Boston Tea Party experience. ☕️
Students created headbands showing the sequence of events and wrote sentences using the words goods, taxes, King, and Congress. They decorated tea cups while discussing “no taxation without representation,” and even used feather pens to write their own declarations.
The learning continued with a science experiment using tea bags and warm water, where students explored concepts like time, temperature, color change, and dissolve.
It was a fun and engaging way to bring history and science together for a memorable, tea-riffic experience!

Better together. 💜
At Coleman Elementary, acts of kindness and service happen every day in ways both big and small. Older grade teachers help younger students, younger grade teachers step in to support older students, office staff lend a hand in the cafeteria, and our principal and counselors help wherever needed, including custodial tasks.
This small moment became a big moment for a student when a 4th grade teacher sat on the floor to help tape together the work of an upset 2nd grade student. Sometimes the smallest acts of kindness make the biggest difference.

There is always an opportunity to love and learn. 🐢
During a recent recess, Coleman Elementary students discovered a turtle and observed from a safe distance without touching. As they followed along, they connected the moment to perseverance, one of our core words!
When the turtle reached the fence and needed a little help, students worked together with school counselor Ms. Wengler-Gomes to gently create space for it to pass through and return to the tree line.
These small, unplanned moments of caring for living things, learning together, and working as a team leave a lasting impact. 💚

Coleman Elementary and Pacific High School DECA students collected 111 pounds of tab tops this school year to support the Ronald McDonald House. ❤️
When the tabs were delivered, the recycling center hosted a celebration to promote the Ronald McDonald House. Students and staff enjoyed balloon animals, face painting, yard games, food trucks, and more!
It was inspiring to see the impact of this ongoing effort that we were able to support.

Preschoolers in Mrs. Finger’s class at Coleman Elementary recently enjoyed a hands-on day of learning thanks to a gift card from the St. Louis Dairy Council. ❤️
Students explored a variety of dairy products by tasting strawberry yogurt, different types of cheese, and several flavors of milk, even dipping graham crackers into milk!
Afterward, they put their math skills to work by graphing their favorite cheeses and counting which ones they liked and did not like. The activity also encouraged students to use their five senses while learning where dairy products come from.

Students in Mrs. Canada’s 2nd grade class at Coleman Elementary are building collaboration skills while practicing a Kagan learning strategy called Think, Pair, Share. 🤝
They begin by working through answers independently, then partner up to compare their thinking. If their answers match, they move on, and if not, they work together to problem-solve and come to a shared understanding.
Students did a wonderful job demonstrating teamwork and thoughtful communication throughout the activity!

After wrapping up their field trip, Coleman Elementary 2nd grade students enjoyed lunch at Pacific City Park, where they joined the groundbreaking ceremony for the Jeffrey White Memorial Skatepark. 🎉
This project was made possible through years of fundraising and the efforts of many committed supporters.
We are excited that our students could be part of this meaningful celebration and see firsthand how community projects come to life!

Kindergarten students at Coleman Elementary had a hands-on learning experience during their Language Arts Farm unit! 🐣
With guidance from Ms. Peirick, Ms. Jones, and Ms. Butera, students watched chicks hatch, explored building barns using different materials, and discovered so many exciting parts of farm life along the way.
It was a wonderful mix of curiosity, creativity, and meaningful learning in action!

Coleman Elementary 3rd and 4th grade students had an exciting and uplifting day as they prepare for MAP testing!
4th graders visited Pacific Intermediate for their annual tour, where they met Ms. Letterly, their future counselor, and enjoyed a student-led presentation and tour from 6th graders. Students also gathered for an assembly featuring a staff-created video, a heartfelt message from Ms. Gish, and a fun MAP song and dance to build excitement!
Students proudly received their new MAP t-shirts, and the positive energy throughout the day reflected how supported, confident, and ready they are to do their best. 💜

Coleman’s 1st graders put on a wonderful performance of “Down on the Farm” last week! 🐄🐥🐷
The students had the audience smiling and laughing with their lively songs about ducks, cows, and the entire barnyard. What a fun and memorable show—great job to all our young performers!

At Coleman Elementary, Mrs. Peirick’s class had a fun and educational experience hatching Peeps! 🐣
Students not only explored science, but also practiced our school’s four core values: respect, responsibility, empathy, and perseverance.
Each student cared for an egg for a week. When it hatched, they received a birth certificate from the Easter Bunny and completed a baby book to document their new “chick!”

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.
