Congratulations to our March Employees of the Month, Cindy Araway and Kaleigh Boggs! 🎉
These recognitions begin with staff nominations, with final selections made by the Board—and this month’s honorees truly shine.
Cindy goes above and beyond every day for her students, staff, and the district. She leads with heart—checking in on others even outside of work hours, offering support however it’s needed, and creating a true sense of family within her building. Her care and dedication do not go unnoticed! 💙
Kaleigh was nominated for her incredible commitment to building strong connections with students. In just one day, she encouraged a reluctant student to get involved, supported academic improvement, helped resolve another student concern, assisted families with the FAFSA process, and still managed her regular responsibilities—all while checking in on a student who was ill. Her impact is wide-reaching and deeply appreciated! 🌟
As Employees of the Month, Cindy and Kaleigh receive a reserved parking space, the traveling Employee of the Month trophy, and, of course, well-earned bragging rights for the month! 🚗🏆
Thank you both for the care, dedication, and positivity you bring to our district each day—we are grateful for you!

Congrats to our January employees of the month: Kaleigh Boggs and Cindy Araway! ☄️These awards are granted based on staff nominations; final decisions are made by the Board.
☄️ Kaleigh was nominated for helping a reluctant student deal with a situation, offering support to a student needing help with their FAFSA, and just showing genuine care and kindness to each person she interacted with all while handling the rest of her job. Thanks Kaleigh!
☄️Cindy was nominated for going above and beyond daily for her students, her staff, and the district. Cindy supports her staff to the point that she often works hours after the school day ends in order to complete her own tasks and duties. Cindy is always checking on staff outside of work hours, offering meals, rides, or anything else that may be needed. Cindy is truly an amazing administrator and has worked hard to make Coleman Schools a family. Thank you Cindy!
These employees enjoy one month of parking in the reserved 'Employee of the Month' parking space at their building, one month of getting the 'Employee of the Month' trophy on their desk, and one month of bragging rights. Thanks for being outstanding employees! We appreciate your hard work and dedication to the district! #LEADLikeAComet

Congratulations to Ms. Courtney Neiderquill who will be with us again this spring, this time as the Junior High Girls Track Coach! 🏃🏆We're excited to have Coach Neiderquill in this position as she has 10 years of track coaching experience working with hundreds of students and has really worked hard to engrain herself into Coleman in the short time she has been with us, really building connections with her athletes. Coach Neiderquill shared strong detail about how she would address a practice and build the program before the students even get into junior high.

Last week our 8th and 11th graders participated in the Reality Store, a hands-on life simulation that gives students a glimpse into the financial decisions adults make every day.
Students chose a career and then visited 'life' stations where they had make choices about housing, credit cards, food, student loans, entertainment, and more — all based on their income.
Turns out… adulting can be tricky! 💳🏠📊
Thank you to the Midland County ESA CTE team and the area volunteers who helped make this valuable learning experience possible!

Their top pick: Conga lines 💃🕺
A few minutes of movement and laughter helps everyone reset and get ready to learn again. (Plus, they’re pretty good at it!) 😄

What a great way to practice observation skills and learn about the world right outside our doors!
