It's official -- Skid Row is performing at the United By Sacrifice concert this year, coming up on May 29th, 2022! Check out this video to see what last year's concert was like, as well as to learn a way to win some free tickets for this year's show! https://youtu.be/wlv-0rKNndg Because of the overwhelming help from the community and many across the U.S., the concert committee was able to give monetary donations to several organizations including some of our school programs like The Sports Boosters, the Ag program, Drama club and Band. They are so grateful for all the volunteer support they've received through the school! Tickets for the event can be ordered here: https://www.colemanveteransmemorial.org/

On Saturday, four Coleman band students joined 180 middle and high school students from around the state to perform in the MSBOA District 5 All Star Band. Paige Lynch, Bailey McCoy, Shane Templeman and Maggie VanSickle represented our school well at this event.
Our Comet alumni, Luke Nehrig, was nominated by his college professor to present one of his SAP class projects in front of a panel of Dow representatives. The representatives then selected him for The Dow Chemical SAP Award of Excellence. This was to recognize excellence in SAP work, which is his field of study. He was then honored on April 22, 2022 at a luncheon held at the Buck’s Run Golf Club. Luke is set to Graduate from CMU on May 7th with a business degree in information systems. Go Luke! Congratulations!

There is just no way the district would run without these 5 ladies- they ARE the people who run the district. They provide support to families, constantly help each of us and are the people answering a million student questions and needs. Not only that, but it's the thousands of things behind the scenes no one sees- paperwork, documentation, conversations with other districts and agencies, the scheduling and organizing of every possibly event and how they take initiative and think ahead to what is upcoming to ensure we are prepared.
Thank ladies for your amazing kindness and work ethic!
