📱 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!

Despite the rain, 3rd Grade had a great time on their field trip last Friday. They visited Daniel Boone’s home, discovered different types of animal signs, experienced what school was like long ago at the one room schoolhouse, and learned all about wood work. It was definitely different back in the day. So glad our students have this opportunity.
