Cole Collecting Lids for Susan G. Komen
Cole Middle School and High School is collecting pink Yoplait lids to support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. For every lid collected, Susan G. Komen will donate 10 cents towards breast cancer research and awareness. Clean lids can be dropped off in either the Middle School or the High School main office. Lids will be collected for the rest of the fall semester. Thank you for your support!

From the Principal

We are starting a new school year and we are ready and excited to have your children join us.  The Cole Middle/High faculty has been busy training during the summer and most recently setting up their rooms for the new year.  I know that you have been busy shopping and preparing your child for the new year.
 
You child will be bringing home a packet of papers to share with you.  Some will need to be read and signed so that they can be returned, others are for information only.  I know all this paperwork can be daunting at times, but please take the time to complete the necessary forms and return them to school tomorrow.  It is important that we collect information and report that information as soon as possible.  Thank you for helping us with this important step in the beginning of the new year.
