The National Elementary Honor Society made 150 luminaries and lined Adams Street and Marsh Street with them for Coleman Christmas Parade on Saturday. Students will receive a pizza party as a thank you from the Coleman Business Association.
Check out this flier for more info regarding the Elementary Christmas program coming up on December 5th!
Students at the Jr/Sr High and Elementary participated in making bulletin boards for kindness week. Great job, Comets! (Quilt is at the J/S High and leaves are at the Elementary).
Another successful PTO apple pie fundraiser! Wow . . . these look delicious! Thanks for all the hard work supporting this important program!
Chase and Adriana did an excellent job leading the pledge of allegiance tonight at the board meeting! We love to give our student leaders this special honor each month; it's always our favorite part of each meeting. Thank you for representing Coleman Elementary so well!
Carsyn and Blake totally rock their Comet blue and white! Thanks for sharing your Comet spirit with us! Do YOU have photos to share of you or your kiddos repping Comet gear? Share them with pr@colemanschools.net to have them posted to the school website and Facebook! #ColemanComets #GrowingForTheFuture
Matt Sysak was a WatchDOG with us Thursday, Nov. 9th. He's working in the library with his son, Crase (second from left) and some other students from Ms. Lovejoy's 1st grade class. Thanks for your help, Mr. Matt!
The 6th graders have been working hard all fall weeding, harvesting, and cleaning the elementary raised beds in the land lab. Students work in pairs at a bed they chose to get them ready for planting this spring. Students noticed a need for more soil, so they put in a request to Mr. Fischer for more compost. Mr. Fischer ordered compost and Mrs. Lattimer used the tractor to put it in the beds for us. Thank you so much to both of you!
6th graders spread out the compost in the beds and planted garlic. Garlic grows best if planted in the fall, and will be ready to harvest in July.
Students will meet with their grade level partners (each grade gets two raised beds) to help their grade decide what to plant in the spring and how to take care of plants in a raised garden bed.
We LOVE seeing our kiddos repping Comet blue and white!!! Got some Comet pride photos to share? Send them to pr@colemanschools.net! #ColemanComets #GrowingForTheFuture
Elementary students enjoyed the fall band concert during their visit to the high school last week. I wonder if there's any future band students in this group!
Some of our awesome student leaders attended Midland County Youth Impact Partnership's Leadership Day on October 24 in Bullock Creek. Our students learned about sense of purpose, positive peer relationships, and self-esteem. After the break out sessions, they were given time to brainstorm ideas for their school's week of kindness, which is November 13-17. Our students did a great job representing Coleman Community Schools!
3rd Grade students brainstorming, planning and building prototypes for collecting weather data with Chippewa Nature Center! Groups made precipitation gauges, devices to measure wind speed and direction and more. Mr. Frisbee encourages them to encourage one another and to be brave in their attempts at creating a working prototype. Even groups that were unable to create a finished product learned the importance of positivity and strong work ethic. An extra thank you to Corteva for providing us with a grant allowing us to bring in Chippewa Nature Center every month to educate our 2nd and 3rd grade students!
More Halloween pictures from yesterday's festivities!
The Rhynard kids looking cool in their Comet gear! Thanks for sharing! #ColemanComets
Boo! Our Comets enjoyed showing off their spooky (but mostly cute!) Halloween costumes today in class.
Last week's hayride and visit to the school forest was a blast!
Coach Falor and the 6th grade girls shared their Regional Cross Country win with their class. Congrats, girls! #CometPride
