The Monday Magi Messenger for November 11, 2024, is out early- to remind everyone about Picture Makeup Day. This week, my message is centered around the theme of “service”—service to our country, our community, and those we love. This issue also has lots of updated information for events in November and December. Check it out: https://secure.smore.com/n/pnt58-magi-messenger-november-11-2024
As a reminder, today, November 6th, is an early release day. Release times can be found on the district website: https://www.colonschools.org/o/colon/page/parent-resource-center
📝 Please take a moment to complete this survey:
🔗 Colon Schools - Potential Auxiliary Gym Survey
👉 https://shorturl.at/YRBKY
As part of our mission to expand 🏫 programs, offerings, and facilities, our Auxiliary Gym Exploratory Committee is exploring a new gym space that serves both athletic ⚽ and community 🤝 needs. The committee, which is made up of around 20 community members from diverse areas, has met regularly since August. They’ve discussed feedback from the summer survey, explored gym use ideas, and evaluated accessibility 🚪 and benefits for both students 🎓 and community members. They even toured 🚌 local school district auxiliary gyms for inspiration! In October, the committee focused on defining the project's scope and preparing this survey to gather input from our community.
