Principal's Update and Coleman Connect: Sunday, September 22, 2024

Dear Coleman Families,

Wow, what an incredible week of learning and celebration to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month! Last week's events highlighted the three district values of Equity, Community, and Joy. Students learned about the contributions of prominent Latinx leaders, the different Latin American flags, and the significance behind their colors and emblems. Students also engaged in fun games, and a notable highlight was when the San Rafael High School students in the Educator Pathway courses led a read-aloud in classrooms, showcasing strong role models and future leaders for our students. Finally, our diverse community came together on Friday for an evening of connection, delicious food, laughter, and dancing. It was a beautiful evening.

Many people made the week possible, and I'm grateful for the countless hours Ms. Martha and Ms. Kassy dedicated to making it happen. We had a lot of parent leaders who led from behind the scenes. Thank you, Andrea Ramirez, for organizing and coordinating events; this took several weeks of planning. I want to thank Jose Perez, Venanacia Gonzalez, Byron Alvarez, Guanda Lopez, Rosa Paxtor, Patricia Mata, Josselin Meza, and Anthony Byrne for setting up the beautiful decorations on Sunday evening.

I'm grateful to our PTO members and the Dads' Group, who took the time to set up and clean up following the potluck on Friday.

Lastly, we want to extend our gratitude to the talented performers of Danza Azteca Mixcoatl for such a beautiful and powerful performance.

Save the Date! Our October Dine & Donate is on Tuesday, October 8th at Big Rock Cafe in Lucas Valley. Come enjoy some BBQ and beverages to support our school.
