Some good reminders

Thank you to those who remembered to turn in your library books. We appreciate it.
Check out these stats from this year's Coleman library visits. In addition, there were 355 new titles added to the collection this year!

After 24 years, the Coleman library is going to get a total gut job to bring it into the 21st century as a wonderful technology/resource learning center. Today, it was out with the old!

So proud of this former Coleman student! Congrats to her and all of the !

Nearly 500 members of the are graduating from our award-winning program. Elgin High School’s Samantha Elizalde is one of them. “Being in the program made me feel less alone, knowing that I wasn't the only first-generation Hispanic child,” she says, crediting her classmates and teachers for where she is today - heading to the University of Chicago to major in psychology with a neuroscience focus. “Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to believe in myself, as they were the first ones to believe in me.” Samantha plans to create a career in mental health, and she says being bilingual and biliterate will help her give back to more people.

Our Food Service YAC group (Youth Action Council) has met throughout the year to learn about good nutrition and make yummy recipies. Last week they held their end of the year awards. Thanks to Karen Roman and Constantina Valle De Munoz for the organizing and programming, and to Ms. Cina for helping out. :)

We are posting this GoFund Me as this tragic event occurred to one of our former Coleman student's family, just blocks away from the school. We encourage you to consider donating.
