On Wednesday, several Colon Elementary School students met with Superintendent Kowalski. These students are part of the Elementary Student Superintendent Advisory Committee. Using a structured Q&A format, they provided feedback about their school and what they would like to see in the future!

Today we celebrate our amazing staff who keep the school and district offices productive and focused on supporting our students, families, and staff. First up is Mrs. Olivia Spidle, who supports both the Superintendent and the Board of Education.
Mrs. Kowalski says the following about Olivia: "Mrs. Spidle is a true asset to our district. You can often find her helping staff with tough situations or pitching in to help on a project. What we appreciate most about her though is her willingness to jump in and help students who are having a tough time, or greeting our CHS students in the morning or afternoon, even though she is very busy with other tasks. We are the luckiest to have her in our district and supporting so many areas of our district operations."
Save these dates for our 'End of the Year Concerts'! More information will be coming soon!
