🎶💙 Last Wednesday 11 Coleman students joined a band of more than 90 students from other MSAC schools and their directors for the annual Honors Band performance, this year at Sacred Heart. 🎷🪈 The group of select band students from within the conference gather each year to spend the day learning new music just in time for the evening performance. 🥁🎺
27 band and choir students and 8 chaperones travelled to Chicago last weekend for an awesome trip including Medieval Times, the Shedd Aquarium, and shopping on The Magnificent Mile.
We're hoping to welcome a new Jr/Sr High Teacher to the Comet Family next fall! ☄️ If you want to be one of the first to teach out of our freshly updated and renovated building (coming this summer!), apply now at colemanschools.net/employment!
Students enjoyed a staff-student volleyball game the last two hours before spring break. Have a wonderful and safe spring break, and see you all back on April 7!
We celebrated Absolutely Incredible Kid Day at the Jr/Sr High last week! Staff nominated students to encourage and uplift them through positive messages of support. Whether you got a shoutout last week or not, we see you all and appreciate the kindness, perseverance, and growth you all bring to the Comet family every day! #LEADLikeAComet #AbsolutelyIncredibleKidDay
Earlier this month, students from the Beaverton STEAM class visited the Coleman Agriscience program to learn how they can develop a partnership wherein they will create plastic items for use in the greenhouse. They brought samples of containers that they are in the process of developing and producing and conducted research as to what containers would suit our program needs the best.
They assessed the various containers the greenhouse program uses to determine how they can produce them but also touched on questions regarding sustainability, durability and recycling. Program instructor Scott Wicke is excited for the potential regarding the relationship, saying "Not only would we like to see how the students can create containers, but we'd like to discover other ways they can design and create tools and other products Coleman can use."
As a part of their visit, the Beaverton students were able to propagate some souvenir plant cuttings and place them in the containers they brought with them while learning about the greenhouse operations. Coleman Agriscience students will be conducting a reciprocal visit to Beaverton in the coming weeks to discover how their process is conducted.

Recognition Day for our amazing paraprofessionals is TOMORROW! 🎉🍎
Think about all of the things they do for our students and all of us daily—regulating kids, keeping schedules on track 📅, providing accommodations, supporting sensory needs 🧠, guiding student work and behavior throughout the building, assisting teachers (and sneaking in those much-needed bathroom breaks 😉), offering a smiling face 😊, making us laugh 😂… and so much more. 💙
Now, what can you do to officially recognize them?
A small token of appreciation 🎁, a quick stop to say thank you in person 🙌, or a note sharing a specific way they’ve supported you ✏️💌?
Thank you to our incredible paraprofessionals who are so many things to so many people! 🌟We appreciate you and the countless ways you pivot throughout the day to meet student needs and support every classroom. 💪📚Have a fantastic day—you deserve it! 💙👏

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.

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!
