Letโ€™s attempt to win another prize!

This image is from one of their "stressors," which are realistic recreations of what it's like to work in a restaurant. We invited staff and community members to stop by and order breakfast just like a real restaurant. . . . and the students did amazingly under the pressure!

Our district is committed to helping our students "grow for the future," and you can help them, too! #GiveLocalMidland is live until 11:59 pm tonight -- you can donate to our endowment fund during today's special event to help us earn additional matching funds and prizes with every donation. This only happens once a year, so please consider making a donation today if you can! Check out our fundraising page here (and donโ€™t forget to SHARE!): https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Here at Coleman, we even have alumni that continue to cultivate connections within and outside of our district! 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!
