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 #3 funded in-classroom Calming Centers for students K-2nd grade! Calming Centers are intended to provide students with regulation tools they can use to obtain and keep body and emotional regulation while remaining in the classroom in order to promote learning and a safe space for all. 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

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.
