Magi Messenger: January 27, 2025
Greetings Families, Staff, and Community Members,
While school closures can be challenging, I hope you enjoyed some extra family time last week. 🏡❄️ Closing our buildings is never an easy decision, but even with a short week, January has been full of learning and growth. We are also thrilled to welcome over 20 new students to our district, many through school of choice! 🎉 Families are choosing to be part of our Magi community, and we couldn’t be more excited! A big thank you to Principal Braman for highlighting some of our newest students recently—I've included a few of their smiling faces here. 😊👋 We are so happy to have them with us! Thank you for your continued support in making our schools a welcoming place for all of us.
Stay warm ☕❄️ and Go Magi! 🎩🔥
❤️ Dr. Rachel Kowalski
Superintendent of Colon Community Schools
