🌟 Pause Time at Parley Coburn 🌟
At Parley Coburn, we believe every student deserves the chance to pause, reflect, and grow. That’s why we launched Parley Pause Time—a restorative, relationship-based support program run through our Dean of Students’ office. Meeting three mornings a week, it helps students start their day with structure, connection, and a focus on positive attendance.
Students use journals tied to Coburn Community Attributes, and build skills through restorative conversations. Just as importantly, they form strong relationships—whether through games, conversation, or simply spending time together. Students set goals and celebrate progress with incentives like Coburn Candy Fridays.
Since launching this year, we’ve seen meaningful growth. Pause Time reflects our commitment to helping every student feel supported, connected, and successful. #GoExpress

Today, the inaugural meeting of the National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) Parley Coburn Chapter brought together 56 outstanding student leaders committed to academics, character, attendance, and service.
In partnership with Together for Youth, students helped support Foster Care Awareness Month by preparing “Go Purple” coffee sleeves for local coffee shops.
Members also presented their “Person of Influence” awards to adults who make a meaningful impact in their lives.
We are so proud of this incredible group of Parley Coburn Cougars and look forward to their official induction later this month!

Thanks to some current Coburn Cougars and Parley League athletes. Also a huge thank you to some of the past Coburn Cougars for coming out to support Coburn and Parley League. We ran the concession stand for Elmira Booster Club tonight. This is a great way to give back to our community, our older athletes but also learn some customer service along the way! We had a blast! Thank you to the Elmira Booster Club for allowing us the opportunity to earn money for Coburn PTO and all of our students here at Coburn!
Pep Rally followed by a very tight 5 and 6 grade All-Star Game!
Parley League Year 2: This year we purchased 50 shirts thanks to the Elmira Booster Club. These students were chosen by their teachers not for being the best athlete or most talented but because they come to school everyday and give their best. Very proud of this group!
Parley League All-Stars!
