Cole Miners' Dig
May 22, 2026
Student Government met again this week to continue making a positive impact around Cole School. Representatives worked together to help clean shared spaces throughout the building, including the hallways, cafeteria, and other common areas. Students showed great teamwork and responsibility as they helped make our school feel cleaner, brighter, and more welcoming for everyone. It was great to see our student leaders working together to care for and take pride in our school community!
PE Happenings
Grades K-2 worked on throwing, catching and batting. Grades 3-5 continued their post fitness testing with crunches and push ups.
On Thursday, fourth graders had a fitness field trip to Wompatuck State Park as a reward for their successful completion of their “Get Fit Across America.” The goals of the program were to encourage physical activity and convert exercise into miles. In all, fourth graders traveled 2,902 miles!
On Friday, second and third graders had fun on their fitness field trips. In the morning, third graders hiked through Norris Reservation and played at Gaffield Park as a reward for successful completion of “Let’s Move Fitness and Nutrition Program.” The goals were to encourage physical activity and use their MyPlate to make healthy eating choices. In the afternoon, second graders hike along the Norwell Pathway to the Clipper Community Complex as a reward for successful completion of the “Healthy Snack and Fitness Program.” The goals were to encourage students to eat healthy snacks at school and to be physically active.
Kindergarten used oil pastels and sponge paint to create these beautiful poppies.
First Grade created these fun houses. They learned how to paint without colors bleeding into each other.
Second Grade learned a lot of fun facts about Grizzly Bears.
Third Grade also learned fun facts about Tree Frogs.
Fouth Grade showed a lot of creativity with the sea turtle shells.
