In September, 7th grade students wrote essays as part of an essay contest sponsored by the VFW. The topic was “How Are You Inspired by America?” The winners from the Coleman Post #1071 were announced.
Winning first place was Lauren Geeck (not pictured), and second place was awarded to Cora Knight. Brystal Berthume earned third place. Each winner was awarded a cash prize, courtesy of VFW Post #1071.
Congratulations to our essay winners, and a special thank you to VFW Post #1071 for their generous prize donations!

Thanks all for all the hard work, we always love to see what Drama Club will bring us next!

United Bay Community Credit Union very recently joined our community and immediately reached out to the district to ask what they could do to support updating the old scoreboards, which served us well for many years. Last Friday, we were excited to unveil our brand new gym scoreboards, generously and entirely paid for by United Bay! With their donation, nothing has come out of the pockets of our community to finance this project.
These boards will be used for volleyball, wrestling, and basketball throughout the year and assist us in continuing to update the look of our Jr/Sr High gymnasium. A sincere thank you to United Bay Community Credit Union and its representatives for their support. Joining us from the UBCCU team that evening was Diane Abbonizio, Doug Kelly, Kerri Singley, Jen Shelby, Mackenzie Shelby, Leslie Webb, and Jayna Hafelein. A special thank you to Emily Burgess who was not able to be here that night, for her tremendous efforts and support to make this happen. Thank you all!
