Creative Writing class students participated in the MSAC Writing Competition on Friday! Students did well and submitted three stories based on this month’s fantasy prompt! 📝

10th graders went to the MiCareer Quest event at SVSU last week! They experienced hands-on exploration of a multitude of different career opportunities! One of our 10th graders, Eddie Szostkowski, beat an E-Sports record and won a scholarship to Northwood University! Congratulations, Eddie!

Look at those smiles! Laura and Layna loved having Dad volunteer as a Watch D.O.G! Thanks for volunteering, Sean!

The WATCHD.O.G.S.® volunteer program helps provide positive role models for students, while providing an extra set of eyes and ears to enhance school security, reduce bullying, and provide a greater sense of campus safety, allowing students and teachers to focus on learning and instruction. Want to be one? Call the elementary school at 989-465-6179 to learn more!

This Saturday, come get spooked at Drama Club's Haunted School! 🦇 👻 It's student-written, student-directed, and student-led . . . even this poster was made by a student! Don't miss this favorite annual event!

The 6th graders had great weather to learn about Ecosystem Succession at Chippewa Nature Center. Students used data circles to collect information about temperature, soil, and biotic/abiotic species from the meadow, the edge, and the forest. 🌿

Join us for the 2026 Scholastic book fair at Coleman Elementary. This year's fair will take place October 20th from 8:20am to 3:00pm and October 21st from 8:20am to 2pm in the art room # 7. This will be a time for teachers to sign-up and bring their classes. The fair will also be open on October 22nd from 12:00pm to 7:30pm during parent-teacher conferences. Everyone is welcome during that time. Thank you for your support as we raise money for new books for our library. See you all soon!

The Jr/Sr High staff enjoyed some great colleague collaboration time during the staff meeting last week! They were discussing best teaching practices.

Seniors participated in College Application Day last week! Seniors who are planning to attend college after high school completed college applications, created their FSA IDs they will need for the FAFSA, and completed other college prep steps. Students who are not planning to attend college explored career pathways in areas that they are interested in or looked into trade apprenticeship requirements and steps.

Jason Germain was a Watch D.O.G. with us on Friday, Sept. 25th! Thank you so much for volunteering with us! Here he is pictured with his 2nd grade son.

Weekly Comet Athletic schedule for the week of October 12th. Look for a few NEW additions to previous schedules this week. Comets JV football team found an opponent for the week and The Holton Red Devils will be traveling up on Wednesday. Also, our Comets Varsity Volleyball will be heading to the Shark Tank on Saturday as they picked up a spot in an invite from St. Louis. Don't forget to pack the stands for Throw Back Thursday for the final home football game of the season and Senior Night!

Don't miss out on a single update! Follow us everywhere to stay informed.

This year, Coleman Elementary has a fun new vending machine... but it's not filled with what you might expect! Instead of snacks, our machine is stocked with books! A huge thank-you to Sleepy Dog Books for generously giving us this amazing machine for our students to enjoy. Students who earn iSpy a Leader tickets can turn them in to the office for a chance to visit the book vending machine and pick out a book to take home! Last week's leaders were Cole Murphy, Rhett Oldham, and Jaylynn Searight — great job, leaders!

Our student sections do a great job supporting their fellow classmates both on the court and the field! #LEADLikeAComet

🚨 Sub pay rates have increased at Coleman Schools! 🚨 If you love workinig with children, want to see what a teaching/support staff job is like, or you just have some extra time on your hands . . . why not sub? We'd love to have you! Sign up at willsub.com today!

Every class at Coleman Elementary set a WIG (Wildly Important Goal) for September, and this year our whole school teamed up on one big WIG: attendance! In Mrs. Young's room, students set a goal of 90% attendance, and they met it! Their reward? A yummy McDonald's meal, chosen by the students themselves. We're so proud of these kids for showing up and reaching their goal. Hard work (and great attendance) pays off!

It's important for your kiddos to attend school as much as possible! Striving for fewer than 5 absences a year will keep them academically on track, build stronger social connections, and establish good routine and habits. #StriveForFewerThan5

Today is Coach/Advisor Recognition Day! While many of our coaches and advisors are current staff members, we also have quite a few community members who step up constantly to be a part of our students' lives.

They teach them teamwork, leadership, and perseverance on a daily basis, and help them gain skills in an activity that they love. It also helps students to be more excited about coming to school and increases attendance for many of our kids.

Thank you to our coaches and advisors for building confidence and fun in the days and lives of our students!

Please take a few minutes to thank a coach or advisor: send them a quick note of appreciation or a little token gift for all of the hard work and effort that they put in to Coleman schools and our Coleman students.

Come get spooked at Drama Club's Haunted School, coming up October 17th! 🦇 👻 It's student-written, student-directed, and student-led . . . even this poster was made by a student! Don't miss this favorite annual event!
