Please help us welcome Mr. Drew Maul as our new second grade elementary teacher starting on October 5th!

Mr. Maul has been teaching for five years overseas at the elementary level, at both The International School of Krakow and the American School of Bahrain. We are really fortunate to bring him on board. He has a strong knowledge of differentiated instruction, assessment and building culture within his classroom. We are really excited to introduce him to all of you.

Please help him feel welcome!

The 5th graders learned about Exotic Invasive Species on Monday with Chippewa Nature Center's, Mr. Frisbee. A great way to spend a beautiful fall day!

Thank you to the Midland 100 Club for their recent donation of essential hygiene products to our Jr/Sr High School. We truly appreciate your kindness and support for our students in need!

STEAM students in Ms. Jolliff's class spent the week studying aerodynamics and paper airplane construction techniques to compete against their classmates in a paper airplane contest! Students researched a paper airplane design and then changed 1 variable on it and predicted if it would make their plane fly further or not. Students then performed a data analysis on the average length from their group with their original design, and the changed variable, as well as comparing their planes to others in the class.

Mrs. Young's students got to practice safely using tools to take apart electronics! ⚡️ Some future engineers, perhaps?

Back on Constitution Day, the 6th graders participated in a live podcast from Mount Vernon (George Washington's home) with other schools across the US. Students were treated to a historical actor portraying Thomas Jefferson. He gave an in-depth talk on the Constitutional Convention and the writing of the Constitution. Our podcast was wrapped up with the Liberty Belles singing the anthems for each of the armed forces. Students stood to represent their family members who served in their perspective branches. It was an informative and fun afternoon!

Shoutout to Comets Gage and Makenzie for doing an excellent job as Pledge Leaders at the Board Meeting last week! We love to see your leadership skills shining through. Thanks for starting off the meeting right! #LEADLikeAComet #ColemanCometPride

Chemistry students in Ms. Jolliff's class learned how grease and fat in milk react to dish detergent while practicing their observation skills. 🧑‍🔬🧫 This allowed them to make detailed observations as well as how chemistry is part of our everyday lives!

We also earned another $5,000 from T-Mobile to use for athletic purposes as part of our participation in the ongoing Friday Night 5G Lights competition! Our next goal? The $20k prize! This social media-based competition relies on community members like you to share and interact with all of our #FN5GL posts this season.

Please join us in welcoming some new staff to our buildings! (And some current staff in some new roles!)

☄️ Ms. Nichole Russell has joined us and is a paraprofessional at the Jr/Sr High this year. Ms. Russell is coming to us from another career and just wanted an opportunity to work with kids. She has a very kind and caring demeanor and we are excited to have her on board!

☄️Ms. Sam Cochran is a paraprofessional at the Elementary and has worked in ABA programs with students with special needs for several years. This brings a lot of training and knowledge to her role. Welcome to Ms. Cochran!

☄️Ms. Rebekah Braley will be splitting her time as a paraprofessional between the Elementary and Jr/Sr High on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays as she takes classes at CMU the other days, in the area of education. Ms. Braley will also work at the Culinary building to assist Chef Moore before her para shift, through our SRSA grant. She is a great asset to the role!

☄️We would also like to give a big welcome to Ms. Gracelynn Ibarra, intern with our School Psychologist, Christa Starkey-Brown this year. We are really lucky to have yet another intern with us.

☄️ English Teacher Mr. Joshua Sampson is stepping into the role of NHS Advisor. He is interested in being even more involved and connecting with students through their extracurriculars while getting them involved in more community and service-learning activities. This is a great direction for the group and building on their leadership skills. Thanks, Mr. Sampson!

☄️ Ms. Megan Andrews and Ms. Jennifer (Rooks) Chambers are the new Freshman Co-Advisors! Both of them are most interested in making the events fun for the students and getting those students involved who usually are not, along with all of the others. They can't wait to work with all of you!

☄️Ms. Carla Jones is returning to the elementary school as our new ELA consultant through Clare-Gladwin RESD! Carla was an interventionist for us a few years ago, and we're incredibly happy to have her back with us.

☄️Finally, congratulations to Mrs. Kaleigh (Boggs) Smalley, who is taking over our Jr/Sr High School Student Council role! She will still be our Athletic Secretary and our College/Career Advisor, and we're very grateful for that! Thanks for taking more on, Kaleigh!
