We Need You! Colon Community Schools has recently partnered with Michigan State University's College of Engineering, the DDA, Colon Village, and other local municipalities and governmental agencies to embark on a journey to ensure all of our students have Safe Routes To School! E-Mail Rachel Kowalski at rkowalski@colonschools.org if you are a parent or student who wants to take part in this very important project.
The purpose of Safe Routes to School is to:
* enable and encourage children in grades K-12, including those with disabilities, to walk and bicycle to school
* make bicycling and walking a more appealing and safe choice of
transportation
* facilitate the planning, development, and implementation of activities that improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel consumption, and pollution near schools
Our Book Blast at Colon Elementary School blasts off early next week! Attention, Magi adventurers! Our Book Blast event starts next week where we will set off in search of treasure to build our students' home libraries. Follow the steps on the Treasure Map coming home next week to embark on an epic quest to earn exciting rewards and books. If you have questions please reach out to the CES Office at 269-432-2121.

Our elementary and secondary students are doing a lot of work with Xello this year! We have added a session at our Magi Parent Academy to provide families with an overview of this valuable resource. At CES our students in upper elementary will work with Xello during our College & Career Week, in late October. AD Sterling's College & Career Readiness students at CHS are using Xello to plan solid plans for the future. Also, in our Magi Focus, specific days are set aside for our high school students to experience the powerful planning tools that Xello offers.
