The Coleman Comet High School bowling team is planning a BOWL-A-THON to take place on January 31st and is looking for some sponsors (community members, parents, local businesses) to help raise money for the Boys and Girls bowling team. If you'd like to help, contact your favorite bowling team member or reach out to Coach Brown at dbrown@colemanschools.net or Coach Francis at bfrancis@colemanschools.net. Thanks in advance for your help!
I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and some rest. We have some JH sports getting going as soon as we get back to school and if you would like to be included in the tryout information or have other questions, here is a Google Form to let us know that your student is interested in participating. We have heard from some already, but we wanted to put this out to anyone who had not been made aware yet.

Mrs. Pelletier’s 3rd grade class decorated ornaments this year. They came out so cute!
Varsity girls basketball hosted Merrill on Friday night with Chippewa Hills visiting to face the JV team. Both teams battled hard but came out on the losing end against two solid teams. In the varsity game, Emily VanSickle led the scoring with 9 points. Both teams are off until after the holidays when the varsity girls visit Ashley HS.
Coleman's very own, Kapre Lynch, signed to continue her powerlifting career at Davenport University yesterday. She has done great things in her athletic career and will continue to do so at the next level.
Here are some photos from the Night with Santa PTO event; looks like everyone had a bunch of fun! 🎅
Due to the local roads and the upcoming break, we are canceling practices for today, Friday, December 20th. But the boys' basketball conference game in Merrill is still on with the bus leaving at 4:00. Be safe everyone and enjoy the break.
Congratulations to Coach Nick Katzinger who is coming back to work with our 7th grade boys basketball team as their coach this year! Coach Katz has over 20 years of experience coaching basketball, both boys and girls, and we are happy to have him work on the fundamentals and building numbers for one of our JH teams. #LEADLikeAComet
1st graders fabricated some festive fashion designs! These are just a few of their very creative ideas. 🎅
The elementary school enjoyed their annual Christmas Sing today and yesterday morning! As you can see, both the students AND staff were all decked out in their finest holiday gear (let us know which outfit/accessory you see is your favorite!). The staff also sang their personalized rendition of The 12 Days of Christmas, and we snuck in a special moment to recognize Deputy Hodges for his many years of service to the district, as he is retiring very soon. We included a picture of 6th grader Heidi, who continually looked over her shoulder to scowl at him (because - her words - she's going to miss him too much!) Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄🎅🎁
Boys basketball hosted Blanchard Montabella last night and came out with a 56-47 win. Jared DeVrieze led the way with 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Colin Stockero kept up his hot shooting with 13 points and Aden Aultman pulled down 6 more rebounds on the night. The boys were in charge the entire night and fended off a tough Mustang team down the stretch. The JV team came up short, but gave Montabella a furious challenge.
6th graders wrote notes to the residents of The Laurels of Mt. Pleasant and then designed a holiday card to put their note in. Students were able to complete more than 90 cards!
Travis Murray signed to play baseball at Cleary University yesterday. We're proud that another Comet will play at the next level. This is a testament to his work and his family's support and dedication to get him there.
The elementary NEHS chapter made and set up luminaries to line Saturday's Christmas parade route.
These three amazing guys were Watch D.O.G.S. Friday during the Christmas Shop. They helped kids shop through the entire school day! Thank you Nate Lewis, Sean Long and Jason Germain!
A naturalist from the Chippewa Nature Center took 6th graders to visit and observe the sheep in the AgriScience barn. They then used the greenhouse space to build a ruminant digestive system from recycled materials.

We are excited to have two in one week. Senior Kapre Lynch is signing with Davenport University on Thursday in the auditorium at 11 am.
From Kapre: I am very excited to announce my formal commitment to join the collegiate powerlifting team at Davenport University. First, I would like to thank all my family and friends who have supported me through this journey. Whether it be the long car rides, hours of waiting, or countless conversations about lifting, they’ve put up with so much. Next, my sincere thanks go out to my high school coach, Donnie Thomas. Without his support, I never would’ve started lifting in the first place. Finally, thank you, Coach Connor and Coach Maddy, for this amazing opportunity. Go Panthers!
Congrats to the November employees of the month! (Sorry we're late!) These awards are granted based on staff nominations; final decisions are made by the Board. These employees enjoy one month of parking in the reserved 'Employee of the Month' parking space at their building, one month of getting the 'Employee of the Month' trophy on their desk, and one month of bragging rights. Thanks for being outstanding employees! We appreciate your hard work and dedication to the district!
