🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes at Coleman Elementary! 🇺🇸
Yesterday, students and staff at Coleman Elementary gathered for a special Veterans Day assembly to honor all those who have served and continue to serve our country.
The ceremony began with Ms. Wood singing the National Anthem as the JROTC presented the colors. Students then shared meaningful readings, including JROTC student Emma Hicks and our assembly speakers, Rosalee, Jaxson, and Imani.
The Pacific High School JROTC wowed the audience with an impressive armed exhibition routine.
To close the ceremony, we recognized and honored the veterans and active-duty service members of our school community.
We are grateful for the opportunity to recognize these heroes.
Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve. Happy Veterans Day! ❤️🤍💙
🎉 TRIMESTER 1 AWARDS – IMPORTANT PARENT INFORMATION!
We are excited to celebrate our students and recognize their hard work during our Trimester 1 Awards!
**A few important things to know:
If your child is being honored, their teacher has already reached out to invite you. Every student will be recognized at a minimum of one of our three award ceremonies throughout the year.
This year, we are trying something NEW! We want to be mindful of your time as parents and protect as much instructional time as possible. To do that, we are splitting our awards into two sessions.
📅 SESSION 1: Preschool, PreK, Kindergarten & 1st Grade
- Doors open at 9:00 AM
- Awards begin promptly at 9:15 AM
- This session will wrap up around 9:40 AM

⏰ BETWEEN SESSIONS (9:40–9:45)
At approximately 9:40, our youngest students will return to their classrooms, and our 2nd–4th graders will make their way into the gym.
If you are only here to celebrate a Preschool–1st grade student, you are welcome to exit the building at that time.
If you also have a 2nd, 3rd or 4th grader being honored, please stay seated for the second session!

Thanksgiving food collection has begun!!
Our 3rd graders had an absolute blast on their field trip to the Saint Louis Science Center last week!
Students were amazed as they explored the Life Science Lab, engineered structures, discovered fascinating dinosaurs, enjoyed the arcade, visited the outdoor farming space, experienced an exciting STEM demonstration, and so much more!
The Saint Louis Science Center continues to grow and evolve, providing incredible opportunities for children to explore, discover, and learn about the fascinating world of science.
What a fun-filled day of curiosity, hands-on learning, and unforgettable experiences! 🔬🦖🚀
🚒 This morning, our students had a special visit from our friends at the Boles Fire Department!
Our firefighters spent time talking with students about the importance of fire safety and having a family evacuation plan.
They also demonstrated their firefighting gear and explained how each piece of equipment helps keep them safe while fighting fires. Although the gear may look a little scary at first, students learned that it is designed to protect firefighters and help them do their important job safely.
A huge thank-you to the Boles Fire Department for taking the time to visit with our students and teach them these important life-saving lessons! We appreciate all you do for our school and community! ❤️🚒
Tomorrow is our costume parade, and students are welcome to wear a costume to school! 🎃
A few reminders about costumes:
Students may wear their costumes all day as long as they can easily take them on and off independently to use the restroom. No masks, weapons or gore please!
If they prefer, students may wait and change into their costumes just before the parade.
Parents are welcome to come watch the parade! No preregistration or sign-in is required. Simply walk to the fence by the playground to watch.
We will start in the gym, walk down the hallway, and then head outside to walk around the concrete area. We expect to be outside from approximately 2:50–3:00 p.m. If you come to watch, you are welcome to stop your student to say hello and snap a picture!
Finally, don't forget to get out and vote on November 3rd! Make your voice heard and learn about Prop K for Kids and what it could mean for our students and schools.
Thank you for your continued support of our Coleman Warriors! We look forward to a fun day tomorrow!
Happy Halloween! 🎃💜
Go Warriors!

The best way to learn is to teach! 📚
Mrs. Signaigo’s 2nd graders at Coleman Elementary recently took the lead in their classroom, guiding their classmates through a reading comprehension lesson on Confucius.
Through peer-to-peer learning, these young leaders demonstrated confidence, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of their lesson.

Learning shapes through music at Coleman Elementary! 🎶
Our preschool students combined music and math as they explored circles, triangles, rectangles, and ovals in a fun, hands-on lesson. After singing songs about different shapes, students used classroom instruments to bring their learning to life.
From circular drums, gongs, and tambourines to triangle instruments, oval-shaped maracas, and rectangular xylophone bars, students discovered that shapes are all around us!

Learning got a little spooky at Coleman Elementary! 👻
Students in Ms. Morice’s 3rd grade class put their reading comprehension skills to the test with a haunted library escape room challenge. Students read five passages, answered comprehension questions, and worked to escape the haunted library while searching for a missing spell book.

Our little learners worked hard to master their letters and sounds, and they celebrated completing ABC Bootcamp in a fun and creative way.

Coleman Elementary was going “hog wild” with excitement last Thursday afternoon! 🐷
Students were challenged to bring in $1 to support the Franklin County United Way campaign, and our amazing staff agreed to a pretty hilarious reward for their contributions: kissing a pig!
Little Curly Sue was the star of the show, soaking up all the smooches and belly scratches.
A big thank-you to our Coleman Elementary staff for being such good sports and to our Warriors for supporting a great cause. 🩷

Coleman Elementary students are learning how the human body works, one breath at a time! 🫁
As part of their Language Arts unit, students in Mrs. Peirick’s 1st grade class created models of human lungs to explore how the respiratory system works.
This hands-on STEM activity brought blended Language Arts and science to life as students learned through observation, experimentation, and play.
