Coleman Athletic Boosters have generously contributed to the safety and support of our athletic teams. At Friday night's home football game, Mr. Greg Mallek was presented with a Safety/Golf Cart donated by the Boosters. This 2021 Club Cart includes a first responders first aid kit, ice packs, charging ports, flip down seat and Defibtech Lifeline AED system with a 4-year warranty. This will make it very easy to reach injured players, transport our refs and ensure the safety of everyone at the games. Thank you to the Boosters Board and also to all of the community members who have donated to the Boosters to help make this happen at the golf outing, Booster Bonanza and at other times.

Welcome to Mrs. Kara Calkins who has officially joined us. Mrs. Calkins is now a paraprofessional at the elementary building; she has been subbing for us for the past year and we are happy to welcome her on to the team. Congratulations, Mrs. Calkins!

The 6th graders had a fun time working together and creating with Legos (Synergy!) The classes were split into teams of 4. Each team had to work together and decide what they were building and how they were building it. They did a great job! Look at that Comet Creed masterpiece! It even has a mini Mrs. Araway, Mrs. McCormack, and Mrs. Klopf overseeing everything - but the best part is the mini Deputy Hodges in the watchtower!! Ms. Timlin and Mrs. Lynch's classes did great with the 6th habit of Leader in Me! #LEADLikeAComet #ColemanCometPride

Comet Cheerleaders spent some time making school spirit posters to pump up the students for the first varsity football game of the season tonight!

The Jr/Sr High students recently received some new recess equipment! The equipment was purchased after sending out a survey to get feedback last year from parents, students and staff on their recommendations for district safety and wellness needs. You asked . . . We responded! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! #LEADLikeAComet

In only the second week of school, it sounds like the students in Mr. Falor's Finance Class are already learning tons! They're working on setting SMART goals, short and long-term education and financial goals, and using tools like the Ramsey Investment Calculator to help them see the value of investments. Did you know your retirement savings could end up being TWICE as much if you start investing at age 18 versus age 26?! Check out the Ramsey Investment Calculator here to see an example just one of the things students are learning at Coleman Schools. https://www.ramseysolutions.com/retirement/investment-calculator
