SCHOOLWIDE MEETING, MURAL PROJECT, & READ ACROSS AMERICA
On Monday, March 3rd, we will have a Schoolwide Meeting in the morning. All students are encouraged to wear Coolidge Spirit Wear or blue and yellow. At this time, we will talk about our special mural project led by Coolidge mom Mrs. Teichman and Coolidge art teacher Mrs. Boyle that will take place that day. Students will wear their art smocks while painting, but, since the paint used will not come out of clothes in the wash, we suggest students wear older clothes that they don't mind if they get stained and roll up their sleeves (no oversized sleeves) when painting.
You may also want to check out Mrs. Teichman's professional webpage to view some of her amazing work.
Additionally, the Coolidge Media Center is excited to celebrate Read Across America (March 3-7, 2025). This year's Coolidge theme is "Art & Artists" in collaboration with the special art mural project launching next week. The various activities to celebrate reading about arts and artists will take place in the Media Center during each class special time. We will also have a special schoolwide DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time each day during Morning Meeting, a special guess the character activity while students walk in the hallway, and other fun activities.
