Feb 5, 2024: Monday Magi Messenger
February 5, 2024
It is a GREAT week to be a MAGI!
Thrilled to present our inaugural "Monday Magi Messenger" this week! You should expect to receive future editions on most Mondays to help all of our district families stay informed about school events and upcoming activities. This year has been fantastic, thanks to amazing teachers and some new programs. Can you believe it's already February? Time flies! I'll keep you updated and share more in the coming weeks. For example, this week, we had a successful fundraiser for our Washington DC trip, and here's a snapshot of some of the volunteers, captured by Ms. Kevnick.
I'm eager to connect with you through these Monday messages but also continue my open-door approach for parents, stakeholders, and students. As a Colon resident, I've known many of you for a couple of years, working together on projects or seeing you at events. It is my plan to share a glimpse of what I'm working on in our schools, community, or even in my free time in each edition. This week, I'm thrilled to share I've returned to the classroom after 11 years in administration, teaching a class at CHS on Thursday afternoons. Teaching is a wild ride, and apparently, mastering the art of paper stapling is my first assignment. As one clever 11th grader pointed out, I've got some work to do in that department. Teaching is hard work, but your kids make it all worthwhile!
Wishing you a magical week, and it is a great week to BE a MAGI!

Mr. Stoll's Class Exploring the Wonders of the Respiratory System!
Just wanted to share the amazing project Mr. Stoll's health class recently completed, diving deep into he respiratory system. Our class took on the challenge of understanding how our lungs and diaphragm work together to keep us breathing effortlessly.
Leadership Blood Drive January 31st was a success!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported this vital cause, including so many staff members who spent time after school donating. Our Leadership Class, led by the amazing Mrs. Hart, organized this event, bringing our community together for a greater purpose.
From Friday - Reese Williams Makes History!
Big shoutout to Reese Williams for getting her 1,529th point as a Lady Magi! Reese is now the all-time career-scoring leader for both MEN and WOMEN at Colon High School. Our staff, administration, community, and student body are so proud of her!
Friday was magical as we warmly welcomed CHS graduate Tracie (Craver) Somerset, a 1986 graduate and a proud member of the Magi Athletic Hall of Fame. Tracie owned the basketball scene and held the career-scoring record for an incredible 38 years! On our court tonight, TWO of the absolute greatest to ever grace the hardwood for women's basketball in Colon! What a moment!
Donut Celebration at CES!
Mrs. Vreeman's class indulging in some well-deserved donut and milk delights as part of our PBIS incentive celebration! These students' positive behavior and hard work are truly shining through. Keep up the fantastic efforts, everyone!
Something sweet!
Something sweet was baking in our Food and Nutrition class! Our talented students have been honing their culinary skills, and today's masterpiece is none other than mouthwatering cupcakes! Our future pastry chefs are truly showing off their skills. The aroma wafting through the air was simply irresistible.
Soon, our district and school leadership team will be sharing some plans we have in the works to partner with local organizations so we can level up our curriculum that is food, farm and career-focused!
