We will conduct a state-required lockdown drill tomorrow, November 21, 2024, at Colon Elementary, Colon Jr/Sr High School, and Leonidas School. These drills are scheduled prior to each school year, and are important to ensure that students and staff are prepared to respond calmly and effectively in an emergency situation. We encourage you to take some time to discuss the drill with your child at home. Conversations about drills can help ease any fears and ensure they understand that these practices are meant to keep everyone safe. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our schools safe!

📝 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.
