There’s no better day to support your favorite nonprofit . . . and we know we’re it ;) You can donate to our endowment fund anytime, but during Give Local Midland, there are lots of opportunities to earn extra prizes and matching funds, not to mention that all donations today go directly to the spendable portion that we can access immediately! Take a second today to donate or SHARE our posts to help us support future projects that support our students! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools The 3rd grade had the opportunity this year to visit Lansing, and it was an awesome opportunity to cultivate Comet connections! Students learned all about Michigan government, history, and culture, and had a great time doing it.

This rare opportunity cultivated connections by creating a cool memory that these students will remember forever . . . and that may also spark interest in the field of astronomy!

Comet alum Shane Gross, along with his teammates at SVSU, engineered an operational automatic smart aquaponics system that they then donated to our Agriscience program! The SVSU team gave an educational presentation about the system to the students; who will reap the benefits from the high-tech system. How cool!
