The 6th graders had a fun time working together and creating with Legos (Synergy!) The classes were split into teams of 4. Each team had to work together and decide what they were building and how they were building it. They did a great job! Look at that Comet Creed masterpiece! It even has a mini Mrs. Araway, Mrs. McCormack, and Mrs. Klopf overseeing everything - but the best part is the mini Deputy Hodges in the watchtower!! Ms. Timlin and Mrs. Lynch's classes did great with the 6th habit of Leader in Me! #LEADLikeAComet #ColemanCometPride
Mr. Liechty's class worked on lots of different math lessons today! Great job collaborating and learning together, Comets! #LEADLikeAComet
Mrs. Pelletier's kids were collaborating and sharing their LEGOs so nicely today during inside recess! Thanks for taking the time to #LEADLikeAComet today!
Mrs. Pelletier‘s third graders played a game that teaches cooperation and communication. The goal of the game is to get the correct colored ball into the correct colored hole. Students have to work together to communicate and cooperate so that the ball doesn’t go every which way. It was enjoyed by all and we all found Leaders in ourselves! #LEADLikeAComet #ColemanCometPride
4 of our rock star paraprofessionals at Coleman Schools. Couldn't do all of this without you! #bruhthey'reback #LEADLikeAComet #CometPride #Coleman

Coleman Schools parents, community members and parents of Coleman area preschoolers~ MidMichigan Health is currently working on a competitive federal grant opportunity for potential expansion of hours to the Coleman School Based Health Clinic (SBHC). The grant would allow the Coleman SBHC to go from 24 to 30 hours per week. It is a highly competitive grant with 140 awards to community health centers in the nation. If expanded, the clinic would continue to support Coleman K-12 students and potentially Coleman area preschoolers. This survey will provide us with information on the needs of the community. Please take time over the next week to complete the survey at the link below if you would. https://forms.gle/B9aveQiXHZdmBqk1A Thank you for your time! ~ Mrs. McCormack, Supt.
