A Message from the Principal

Dear Coebourn Elementary Families,

Fall has arrived at Coebourn Elementary, bringing a wonderful wave of energy, learning, and community spirit! We love the excitement of autumn across our school, from the vibrant school spirit displayed during the Sun Valley homecoming parade to the meaningful learning experiences taking place inside and outside the classroom. A particularly powerful moment was experiencing "The Wall That Heals" with our fourth-grade students, providing them with a reflective and humbling opportunity to connect with history and honor our heroes.

Looking ahead, we have two fantastic school community events that we cannot wait to share with you:

• Leader in Me Family Night: Join us for an inspiring evening led by our Lighthouse Team, where our student leaders will share how leadership habits shape their daily learning and growth.
• Spooky Fall Fest: Get ready for seasonal fun, games, and festivities on Fri, Oct 16!

Thank you for your ongoing partnership and dedication to our school community.

Warmly,

Nicole Small

Principal, Coebourn Elementary School

Recently at Coebourn

Fourth-grade students had the opportunity to witness The Wall That Heals—a mobile replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial—as it traveled down Route 352 en route to Aston. Afterward, students returned to their classrooms to read Eve Bunting's The Wall with their teachers and participate in age-appropriate discussions about its history and significance.
