Congratulations to Josh Gross and David Maki on their bowling season! Although it ended this past weekend, we are incredibly proud of their accomplishments. Nice work guys!
A tremendous thank you to Mrs. Karen Bressette, who has spent many years as a member of the Coleman Schools' Board of Education, most recently as the Board Treasurer and serving on the Board Finance/Facilities Committee. Karen has recently stepped down from the Board, and in her words, "I have learned so much and have felt it was such a meaningful way to serve my community. I am proud of the work that has been done these last years to take our school to the next level, with research and evidence-based practices. I will always be grateful for the experience." Karen has been a strong supporter of what is best for all students, with additional background in that which serves students with special needs. Each year she has continued her interest in learning about the finances, laws and duties of a Board of Education member. A sincere thank you, Karen, for your many years of service and care for our students, families and staff.
