Congratulations to Mrs. Nicole Howdyshell on being named as the High School Sideline Cheer Coach for this fall! Mrs. Howdyshell is a teacher in the building and has her own background with cheer at a young age.

Coleman Schools adopted the evidence-based Leader in Me/7 Habits framework nearly 7 years ago to help empower students, educators, and families with essential leadership and life skills, preparing them to excel . . and we're loving it! Our students have plenty of leadership opportunities to choose from and participate in community service projects regularly. Not convinced yet?

Our Ignite videography club has been so successful that we have extended it an additional 2 weeks. Students have learned how to splice, add music and make edits to come up with a delicious video (posted separately) that our extended Cooking Club students made for this collaboration project. This coincided with our WCMU career readiness field trip to learn and get the behind-the-scenes of different types of careers in the MultiMedia Field. Ty Klopf has been an additional and welcoming fresh breath of air with our students and they have really taken to him. It shows by how they show up and are willing and wanting to participate in the lessons he has planned. Learn more about this awesome program at their site here: https://sites.google.com/cgresd.net/ignite-chs?usp=sharing

Welcome to Mrs. Kayla Dennis! She started with us a few weeks ago to work with Mrs. Weber to learn all the ins and outs of a School Nurse/Health Resource Advocate (HRA) position as Mrs. Weber takes a position closer to her home.
This position is now paid through a grant with the State and Mrs. Dennis is hired by the ESA. However, because of the grant, the position has been extended and Mrs. Dennis will be with us full time Monday-Friday during the school year and working on student and parent health information during the summer. The rest of the process will be very much the same as with Mrs. Weber.
We are incredibly excited to have Mrs. Dennis and all of her expertise involved in the district to support the health of our students and staff as well as providing students and parents with health education. Please help her feel welcome!

Currently, only Coleman students have access to clinic services . . . so if you haven't enrolled yet make sure you do!
