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.

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!

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! 💙
