Tonight’s Pledge Leader at the Board of Education Meeting: Braxton Wilson! Braxton was accompanied tonight by his siblings, Landon and Addison. Thanks for saying the Pledge so nicely and loudly for us!
A story shared by Mrs. Young: I recently entered to win reading buddies for each of my students, and a $200 gift card to put towards my class library. I had to write about how reading buddies can be beneficial to our students, and how we could use them in our district.
I just returned back to my classroom to 2 huge boxes FILLED with teddy bears! Turns out, I won!
Each of my students will receive a reading buddy, and the rest will be donated. I also get to shop for $200 worth of new books to help diversify my library. I plan on using it for social emotional stories to use with my kiddos :)
Congrats on your big win, Mrs. Young!
All month the elementary has been passing out I Spy a Leader tickets to students that have been showcasing the 7 habits of a good leader! Last week we drew names for our November leaders (you can see these students in the large group picture). The smaller pictures showcase some of our October rewards in action! So proud of all our Comets showing off their awesome leadership skills!
On December 5th, the Elementary Choir presented a musical reader’s theater production, “Star Bucks, the musical” for their holiday program. Congrats, Comets, for a fun and festive performance!

These are some of the posters that the elementary classes made to show their school what kindness looks like for the elementary school's week of kindness, which was sponsored by the NEHS students. Judges will decide which one is the best at getting the kindness message across and that class will win an ice cream sandwich party!
6th graders and their parents learned the fine art of pie making by assembling apple pies with the Elementary PTO last weekend. Thanks to everyone for a great fundraiser!
From Mrs. LeFevre: Last week during Kindness Week, NEHS members were getting ready to deliver apple cider and donut holes to all of the classrooms. It was a great opportunity for classes to have a snack together in celebration of Kindness Week and for the NEHS group to work together as a team.
Tonight’s awesome Pledge Leaders at the Board Meeting were 4th graders Aubrey Lincoln and Brantley Lattimer! They did a great job reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to kick off the beginning of the meeting. They earned this special honor by submitting the leadership tickets they won by exhibiting leadership skills in school. Thank you for your hard work, Comets! We are so proud of how well you represent our school.
These 6th graders were having a blast playing in the snow! Thanks to Mrs. Lynch for sharing these pictures.
Mrs. Lynch reports: The 6th grade used their Math classes last week to help the PTO with the Apple Pie and Scrip card orders! Students worked in teams to check orders, count money and tabulate totals with paper/pencil. Each order was then double checked for accuracy with a calculator. Students had to initial each order to prove they agreed with what was on the paper. Every year the Coleman Elementary PTO works hard to provide field trip bussing for all classrooms along with family events and end of year activities. PTO also pays for all 6th graders to attend Mystic Lake Camp.
The Coleman Watch D.O.G.S. program (Dads of Great Students) was recently featured in the Midland Daily News! A huge thanks to Mr. Templeman for organizing this positive news coverage for our school! It was printed in yesterday's newspaper, or you can read the article here with a subscription: https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Coleman-Watch-D-O-G-S-program-increases-parental-17581681.php (Pictured is WATCH D.O.G.S Taylor Jardas, back left, and Matt Sysak, back right, with their children: Avery, front left, Jaxon, middle, and Crase, front right (photo taken by Tess DeGayner)).

The elementary school had their first Habit Huddle run by the Student Lighthouse team! According to our Dean of Students, Karly Larsen, the students were really excited for this leadership opportunity. The kiddos pictured here turned in the 'I Spy a Leader' tickets that they earned and won some awesome rewards! Great job, Comets!
Our 6th graders give back to elementary families every week from October to May! They pack over 60 bags of food, from EFPN in Midland, then deliver the bags to elementary classrooms. Then, they break down all of the cardboard cases for recycling. So proud of our Comets for taking on this awesome leadership opportunity!
Many thanks to our WatchDOGS volunteers so far this year: Ryan Baker (with daughter Kyleigh), Matt Sysak (with son Crase), Stefan Jones (with nephew Dane), and Matt Huber (with sons Jason and Mathew)! We enjoyed having you hang out with us for a day. The kids had a good time, too!
