Refreshments will be served, and young readers are invited to do an art project.

Congratulations to Coleman students in grades 2-5 who turned in an outstanding performance on the California Standards Test (CST) this past May.  Congratulations are also in order to their parents and the Coleman staff as well as the many volunteers and community groups who provided various sorts of support to students including financial contributions that enabled the continuation of Coleman School's many wonderful enrichment programs; academic tutoring; nutrition education; supplemental food; dictionaries; and school supplies - just to name a few. 

Each and every effort and contribution helped Coleman students make the remarkable achievement gains that they demonstrated this past May on the CST.  Education is a team sport!  Please join us as we build on our success during the coming school year.
