Coleman Warriors recently completed a service learning project for participants of the Greater St. Louis Honor Flight. Honor Flight is a not-for-profit organization that celebrates the veterans of our country by giving them a Day of Honor, which includes a flight to Washington D.C. Veterans tour the memorials, enjoy comradery, and are welcomed back after their flight home. To show appreciation for their service to our country, Coleman students wrote personalized letters and made pictures that were given to them during mail call on their return flight. The Veterans on this trip included members of the Korean and Vietnam Wars (photos courtesy of gslhonorflight.org). #MVNation
Our thoughts are with each of you as we navigate the flooding affecting our community. To prioritize the safety of our students and staff, the Meramec Valley R-III School District will be closed on Thursday, November 7th, and Friday, November 8th.
During this challenging time, we encourage our staff who are able or willing to volunteer to lend a hand to neighbors, help with sandbagging, or join cleanup efforts once the waters recede. Together, our community will emerge stronger by supporting one another.
Don’t Forget - Set clocks back one hour tonight, and exercise your right to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 5th! #MVNation

Rowan pushed in the chair's at the end of library without being asked or having the chairs job. He is such a good leader!
There is no school for MVR-III students tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 1, as staff have a professional learning day.
What a great day of fun and learning 3rd grade students had as they wrapped up their Unit 2 in Reading, with an Animal Classification Escape Room. Students matched mammals with their habitat, sorted animals by their classification name, identified animals by their footprints, read and answered questions about a zoo keeper, and classified animals by what they eat. The kids had a blast and really enjoyed being zoologists!
Our students are KENough. Day 3 of Red Ribbon Week and we are decked out in pink.

Calling all doctors and nurses, STAT!We may have future medical professionals in our future. 1st grade just ended their 2nd Unit on the human body in CKLA knowledge. They learned about the different systems in a person's body. Which include the muscular system, skeletal system, circulatory system, and nervous system. They learned about bones, muscles, and organs. As well as how to eat and healthy. It looks like such a fun day of learning.
📱 In today’s digital world, it’s important to set clear, healthy boundaries around social media use for children. Helping kids manage their time online promotes healthier habits, encourages meaningful connections, and protects their well-being. Here’s why setting boundaries is essential:
✨ Improves Mental Health & Well-Being - Limiting screen time reduces exposure to negative influences, online pressure, and distractions, helping kids stay focused and emotionally balanced.
✨ Promotes Digital Responsibility - Teaching children about appropriate online behavior and privacy helps build a strong foundation for responsible digital citizenship.
Let's keep #GrowingTogether, #MVNation!
This past month Coleman Elementary participated in several activities to raise funds for the Franklin County United Way, an organization that benefits many of the students and families of our school district. Students brought in donations and participated in hat, stuffy, and popcorn days. Ms. Wood’s class raised the most money and got to silly string Dr. Quanz. Congratulations to all our Warriors for raising a grand total of $1024!
