The Jr/Sr High students recently received some new recess equipment! The equipment was purchased after sending out a survey to get feedback last year from parents, students and staff on their recommendations for district safety and wellness needs.

In only the second week of school, it sounds like the students in Mr. Falor's Finance Class are already learning tons! They're working on setting SMART goals, short and long-term education and financial goals, and using tools like the Ramsey Investment Calculator to help them see the value of investments. Did you know your retirement savings could end up being TWICE as much if you start investing at age 18 versus age 26?! Check out the Ramsey Investment Calculator here to see an example just one of the things students are learning at Coleman Schools. https://www.ramseysolutions.com/retirement/investment-calculator
We're always on the lookout for more bus drivers to join our already awesome staff! Call Michael for details.

Mrs. Pelletier‘s third graders played a game that teaches cooperation and communication. The goal of the game is to get the correct colored ball into the correct colored hole. Students have to work together to communicate and cooperate so that the ball doesn’t go every which way. It was enjoyed by all and we all found Leaders in ourselves! #LEADLikeAComet #ColemanCometPride
