In the wee hours of this morning four CHS students and one CHS teacher boarded a flight in Grand Rapids, headed for Atlanta and eventually Panama City, Panama. Pictured with wide-eyed smiles are Spanish teacher Ms. J, Adriana Federico, Zach MacPhee, Mia Hilty, and Josie Balliet at drop-off at the Grand Rapids Airport. Our CHS international travelers will arrive in Panama today. They will spend one week visiting Panama and experiencing life outside of the US. Wish them luck and safe travels!

The elementary hosted their annual Leadership Day this afternoon! They invited parents and the community to come in and learn about each of the 7 Habits through the Leader in Me program -- one presentation per grade level. Great job, kids!! #leaderinme











The Board approved updated curriculum for K-12 English Language Arts and K-12 Spanish last night at the Board Meeting! Mrs. Cauchy, Mrs. Pelletier, and Ms. J did an excellent job explaining how their new curriculums have astronomical proven results, are all research-based, and are heavily backed by science--not to mention the reasonable price, great pacing, and overall comprehensiveness. Our teachers are all very excited to roll it out and predict that we'll see results in student learning almost immediately! Looking forward to this exciting change!




The last Pledge Leaders of this school year are Cason and Kandice, both in Mrs. Pelletier's 3rd grade class! They did a great job tonight starting off the Board Meeting by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance nice and loud. Thank you both for being excellent leaders tonight! #ColemanCometPride



At the Board Meeting tonight, Mrs. Shumaker explained how the Board-approved grant she was awarded was a huge help in supporting the most recent production, Beauty and the Beast. Drama Club members Landon, Enaria, and Athena all took a moment to reflect on this year and express their joy and gratitude about being a part of the program.
Board-approved grants come from set-aside funds that the Board awards to staff/student projects in lieu of accepting payment for their services on the Board. The Board will consider project pitches and may choose to award these funds to support staff in their endeavors.
