The MLC Summer Programs are a great way to keep your kids engaged in learning during the summer. To learn more about these events, check out www.michiganlearning.org/summer.
Some exciting news! We have been able, with some of the federal funding we received this year, to purchase enough Chromebooks to be 1:1 for students. The District Curriculum Committee has been talking with teachers and we will be planning just what 1:1 will look like based on the grade level of students and a multi-year plan for teaching students how best to use the devices. We'll be sharing that information out as we get closer to next year.
Just a quick reminder if your child(ren) are in the Online Learning Academy or in quarantine or have borrowed a Chromebook/charger at any time this year that has not yet been returned, please bring that to the school.
We will have staff available late today, Friday, June 4th from 3-4:30 p.m. and Monday, June 7th from 9-noon. Even if your child will be in a summer program, they should still be returned first and then we will reassign Chromebooks. You can return other days through next week as well when secretaries are in the office. Costs for anyone not returning these items or any damage will be sent to homes within the two weeks and report cards will be held. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Have a wonderful summer!

Families and friends of our 6th graders are invited to join us for the 6th Grade Completion Ceremony, Wednesday, June 2 at 6:00 PM in the grassy area on the west side of the elementary school. Please bring your lawn chair and set up where you will be able to see/hear. Join us as we celebrate the accomplishments of these students as they prepare to take the next step in their Comet journey.
As part of Leader In Me, Ms. Moore's kindergarten class did a service project. They synergized to come up with an idea and a plan. They decided on a coin drive to raise money. They planned to use the money to buy food and toiletries for the local pantry. The class put first things first and made a plan. Their goal was to raise $100. They raised $103.25 and were able to buy all of this and donate it to the emergency pantry at Greater Midland Family Center- Coleman. What a win-win! The students felt so proud as they delivered the goods they were able to provide for those in need!
Last Tuesday, Mrs. LeFevre’s fifth graders went to the “purple park” to pick up trash as their Spring Service Project. The park was pretty tidy, but they still managed to gather up trash (like inside the cannon barrell!). After working, they had time to play and picnic for lunch. They then went to Scoops for ice cream. Everyone loved that. On the way back to school, we stopped at Mrs. Tigner’s to pet her grand dog and pose for a picture. To date, they were the largest group to ever stop and visit on her porch!
Information about Summer Extended Learning Opportunities for student of all grade levels are posted at this link and a copy will come home with students tomorrow. It has also been emailed and sent in a quick text to parents: https://5il.co/t6l5
Mrs. Hintz’s 2nd grade class voted to earn money by doing chores. For their Spring Service Project, they used the money to purchase groceries for a quarantined family. They also wrote letters of encouragement to the family. The family was “overwhelmed with emotion.” They said, “the letters were an added bonus.”
For their Service Project, Mrs. Mills' 2nd and 3rd grade online classroom made cards and letters for the Senior Living residents in Coleman. We're excited for them to be delivered!
Mrs. Davis’ 1st and 2nd grade class did a Coin Drive for the school Library as their Service Project. The kids wanted to raise money for more copies of their favorite books. As a class they raised $123.24. They presented Mrs. Nehrig with the donation during their class library time.
Coleman's "Take Your Tractor To School Day"was a success. Thank you to thr students who participated and then were kind enough to answer questions about the tractors for the elementary students. #Coleman #growingforthefuture #education #Agriscience #preferreddistrict #FFA #CometPride
