Panama Day 4! (Day 5 update coming later tonight!) The Comets had an early start today on their way to a motorized canoe ride on Gatun Lake, which is part of the Panama Canal. While on the lake, they were able to see Panamanian wildlife, like monkeys, birds, and iguanas! After the lake, students took a hike through the rainforest in Soberanía National Park. Next they went to the Panama Canal Miraflores Lock to learn about the history of the canal and see some cargo ships making their way through. They finished up the day at the Feria Nacional de Artesanías to check out local crafters, musicians, artisans, and other artists!
Coleman Schools parents, community members and parents of Coleman area preschoolers~ MidMichigan Health is currently working on a competitive federal grant opportunity for potential expansion of hours to the Coleman School Based Health Clinic (SBHC). The grant would allow the Coleman SBHC to go from 24 to 30 hours per week. It is a highly competitive grant with 140 awards to community health centers in the nation. If expanded, the clinic would continue to support Coleman K-12 students and potentially Coleman area preschoolers. This survey will provide us with information on the needs of the community. Please take time over the next week to complete the survey at the link below if you would. https://forms.gle/B9aveQiXHZdmBqk1A Thank you for your time! ~ Mrs. McCormack, Supt.

The Board approved updated curriculum for K-12 English Language Arts and K-12 Spanish last night at the Board Meeting! Mrs. Cauchy, Mrs. Pelletier, and Ms. J did an excellent job explaining how their new curriculums have astronomical proven results, are all research-based, and are heavily backed by science--not to mention the reasonable price, great pacing, and overall comprehensiveness. Our teachers are all very excited to roll it out and predict that we'll see results in student learning almost immediately! Looking forward to this exciting change!
At the Board Meeting tonight, Mrs. Shumaker explained how the Board-approved grant she was awarded was a huge help in supporting the most recent production, Beauty and the Beast. Drama Club members Landon, Enaria, and Athena all took a moment to reflect on this year and express their joy and gratitude about being a part of the program.
Board-approved grants come from set-aside funds that the Board awards to staff/student projects in lieu of accepting payment for their services on the Board. The Board will consider project pitches and may choose to award these funds to support staff in their endeavors.
The last Pledge Leaders of this school year are Cason and Kandice, both in Mrs. Pelletier's 3rd grade class! They did a great job tonight starting off the Board Meeting by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance nice and loud. Thank you both for being excellent leaders tonight! #ColemanCometPride
