#GiveLocalMidland is LIVE! Check out our page to learn more about the CCS Endowment Fund and SHARE this post to help us reach our $4,000 goal! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools One way that our students #LEADLikeAComet is when they bravely show off their talents to the school. This student simulates a volcano explosion by using his knowledge of chemistry!

So, what do we use the CCS Endowment Fund for? This past school year we funded three projects that were proposed by staff members. Project #1 updated the Elementary Sensory Room! Our Sensory Room Paraprofessional worked with occupational therapists, administration, and staff to determine how to best support additional sensory, emotional, and self-regulatory needs of our students. Pictured here are just a few of the upgrades to the space! These resources allow students to learn regulation skills and replacement behaviors that they can take with them throughout life. If you want to help us fund more projects next year, consider making a contribution to the Endowment Fund today! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools #GiveLocalMidland #LEADLikeAComet
