Please help her feel welcome to Coleman! 💙 🤍

✏️📖 Sharing a quick welcome to Ms. Sara Araway who will be starting with us as a paraprofessional on December 16th, in the K-12 Flex position supporting both schools.✨ Sara has been subbing for us for some time, is very positive with everyone she works with, is flexible in assisting with the needs of students and thinks quickly on her feet to make adjustments. 💙 🤍

Please help Ms. Sara Araway to feel welcome!

🌟 The 5th and 6th grade classes said goodbye to our CMU students last week with a parade, pictures and amazing cupcakes by Mrs. Lynch. 💙 🤍 We are sad to see them go but excited for their futures! Good Luck to Mr. Reid (Jaquavias) and Mr. Schultz! 🎉

Today’s topic: digestion! 🧠➡️🐄
Our 6th graders hiked to the greenhouse to learn how sheep and cows digest alike 🐑🐄 and how humans and pigs have their own similarities 🐖🙋‍♀️. Then students worked together to build a cow’s digestive system from recycled materials 🌱♻️—science + creativity at its best!

🎉 👏 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. 🌟🤝

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

Although the school Bond construction doesn't officially begin until this summer, there are a lot of things already happening behind the scenes! Visit our Bond Page anytime to follow along with the progress! 🛠️ https://colemanschools.net/bond
