PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Dear Colonial Families,
This week will mark the beginning of February, the third week of our Read-a-Thon and the start of our African American Read-In. In addition, we will be hosting our 3rd grade orchestra and 4th grade band recital on Monday. More information on all of these events is listed below. We are also thrilled to welcome back Sgt. Hendrie and the DARE program! Our fifth graders are very excited!
We would also like to congratulate Matteo Panzani, Nellie Hill-Ries and Penelope McGibbon for representing Colonial in our District Spelling Bee this past week. All students did an amazing job and we are very proud of their accomplishments.
Lastly, please note that Wednesday, February 1st will be an Early Release Day. Students will eat lunch in school and be dismissed at 1pm.
Best wishes for a fantastic week ahead!
Best,
Rachael
