Coleman Community Schools

🎉 👏 Congratulations to Josie Balliet, a recipient of the 2025 DAR Good Citizen Award! 🌟

We love seeing our Jr/Sr High staff start the day with a little camaraderie and connection. ☕💙 It’s the small moments that make our school feel like family. ✨

Sometimes the best support comes from each other. 💙 A group of our 7th-grade boys recently stepped up for one another on a tough day—and that’s the kind of kindness we love to see. 🌟🤝

“When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.” —Maria Shriver

Congrats to Ag for Becoming MAEAP-verified! 🌱 Becoming MAEAP-certified (Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program) means the farm is a superhero for the environment, voluntarily adopting top-tier practices to protect natural resources! The farm's verification in cropping, farmstead, and livestock systems shows a commitment to everything from soil conservation and nutrient management to safe chemical storage and animal care.

Verification in this program involves applying through the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), completing a risk assessment, attending educational sessions, developing an action plan, and passing a final inspection. This verification process offers potential benefits including regulatory protection, financial assistance, and a sense of pride and legacy for future generations. Pretty cool! 🌱 To learn more about the Agriscience program, check out the webpage here: https://www.colemanschools.net/page/agriscience

Thanks to Thor & Clark for being our Pledge Leaders at the Board Meeting Monday night! Clark was a little too shy to have his picture taken, but we appreciate them both for being great leaders in their school! #ColemanCometPride #LEADLikeAComet

The second phase of the Cultivating Comets initiative focuses on Jr/Sr High Auditorium Stage Refurbishment, Carpeting & Seating! We are about $10,000 away from reaching our funding goal for this project, thanks to a generous donation from the Midland Area Community Foundation that got us most of the way there! 💙 Want to donate or learn about the other phases of the initiative? 🌱 SHARE this post then check out https://www.colemanschools.net/page/cultivating-comets

Today is Recognition Day for our Student Support Partners (Ms. Kayla Shoultes, Pathways Coordinator; Mrs. Melissa Allen, Mr. Brad Clark and Mrs. Lucy Kosinski, Interventionists; Mr. Richard Templeman, Parent Coordinator; Mrs. Mandy Lattimer, Agriscience Facilities Assistant).

This group of people add their special skills to benefit our students, families and the entire team in Coleman. They have unique backgrounds that make them a great fit for each of their roles and help to bridge the gap in a lot of different areas.

Please send them a thank you, drop a quick note or say we appreciate you in person when you get a chance today!

✨ Elementary welcomed local veterans on Tuesday, and several 5th graders spoke in celebration of Veterans Day. Proud of these young leaders! ❤️🤍💙
