On Friday, Oct. 10, 2025, Coronado Unified student anchors announced that there will be no school on Monday for a fall holiday, promoted a Harvest Hoedown fundraiser scheduled for 4 to 7 p.m., and relayed a safety warning from Assistant Principal Miss Barto about students making paper darts on campus.

The announcement came during the CASES student newscast, which included brief interviews with eighth-grade student leaders and a recorded promotion for the Harvest Hoedown. The event was described as a fund-raiser with carnival games, dancing, face painting and food; the broadcast said proceeds would support the Village PTO, though a later video segment in the same newscast named Coronado Elementary as the event location, creating an on-air inconsistency about the specific school site.

Assistant Principal Miss Barto addressed student safety on air, saying the school has “a lot of positive things,” and warning, “I’m seeing a lot of the paper darts being made with sticky notes across campus. Those are dangerous objects, so they’re not permitted anywhere on campus. And, unfortunately, if someone is hurt, then there will be some pretty serious consequences.” The newscast advised students not to make or throw paper darts.

Student leaders from the eighth grade spoke briefly about leadership and school life and assisted with a prize drawing tied to the school’s Triton recognition cards. One 8th-grade student leader said, “This school is feeling great because I like making new friends, keeping my grades up, and showing respect to everyone on campus.” The newscast named three try-card winners: a sixth-grade student identified as Jordan (no last name provided) for taking ownership; Sydney Marshall (seventh grade) for ownership and respect awarded by Miss Cotton; and Poppy Richard (eighth grade) for integrity awarded by Miss Lund. Anchors instructed winners to claim prizes in the counseling office.

The newscast closed with seasonal well-wishes for the three-day weekend and a reminder of the school’s conduct expectations.
