Coleman Community Schools

Only FOUR hours left to get your donations in for Coleman Schools during #GiveLocalMidland! You can donate to our endowment fund anytime, but donations made during today's special event can help us earn additional matching funds and prizes. Don't miss your chance to donate if you can, or SHARE to help get the word out! Only a minimum $5 donation! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Each month, we pick two K-6th graders that nominated themselves to recite the Pledge of Allegiance onstage at the Board Meeting to get the meeting started. Practicing public speaking even at a young age is super beneficial! Way to #LEADLikeAComet!

If we are able to earn the FIRST donation after 3:00 pm today, before any other participating organization, we'll win the "$300 after 3" award and an additional $300 for our endowment fund!

This trip was made possible by our generous community that rallied together to support this once-in-a-lifetime experience for our students. Small school, BIG opportunities! #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. 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 #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.

Families and community members are welcome!! Can't wait to see you all there.

6th graders did some undercover bulb planting in the fall! Daffodils are springing up in front of the elementary school.

Thank you to Paul Gross for coming to speak to our students about the Ag, Food, and Natural Resources degree and credential opportunities that Mid Michigan College has to offer our students!
