Coleman Community Schools

If you’ve been looking for a way to support the school district but you haven’t checked out our Give Local Midland page yet, what are you doing!? Of course, we deeply appreciate all donations – but don’t forget the power of a SHARE! Thanks to everyone who has helped us out today by donating and by sharing these posts out to your networks – we couldn’t do it without you! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Recently, our Jr/Sr High students suggested a school-wide rock-paper-scissors competition in order to raise staff and student morale . . . and we might have to make it an annual thing! Students and staff cultivated connections all day, building good sportsmanship and prioritizing a positive district culture. In this picture, a student takes the "crown" from a staff member after defeating him!

If you’re still awake right now, take a moment to donate or SHARE this post to help us start off Giving Day strong! If we receive the most unique donors to our endowment fund before 1 am, we’ll win an additional $300! We’ll need every cent in order to reach our $3,000 goal today! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Check out our Comet baseball team! Athletics are a great way to cultivate Comet connections: they build teamwork skills, promote good values like dedication and responsibility, and strengthen relationships with peers.

There’s no better day to support your favorite nonprofit . . . and we know we’re it ;) You can donate to our endowment fund anytime, but during Give Local Midland, there are lots of opportunities to earn extra prizes and matching funds, not to mention that all donations today go directly to the spendable portion that we can access immediately! Take a second today to donate or SHARE our posts to help us support future projects that support our students! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools The 3rd grade had the opportunity this year to visit Lansing, and it was an awesome opportunity to cultivate Comet connections! Students learned all about Michigan government, history, and culture, and had a great time doing it.

#GiveLocalMidland is going on all day today until 11:59 pm, and we're asking for your generosity to help our district grow! If you've been thinking about donating, NOW is the time! Check out our Give Local page here to read our story, learn more about the endowment fund, and DONATE to help us grow! Please SHARE to help spread the word! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools The Veteran's Day ceremony was an excellent opportunity for students to feel connected with our community, and vice versa! Student enjoying learning and singing a representative song for each branch of the military, as well as reciting stories, offering gifts to our visiting Veterans, and thanking them all for their service. It was a meaningful experience for all.

Let’s attempt to win another prize! If we are able to earn the most in donations between 9:00 am (now!) and 10:00 am than any other participating organization today, we'll win the "Coffee Break" award and an additional $300 for our endowment fund! (A nice chunk to go towards our $3,000 goal today . . .) Let's go for it! Don’t forget to SHARE to help us win! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Our Culinary students had many opportunities to cultivate connections this year, as well! This image is from one of their "stressors," which are realistic recreations of what it's like to work in a restaurant. We invited staff and community members to stop by and order breakfast just like a real restaurant. . . . and the students did amazingly under the pressure!

We’re still trying to win the “Coffee Break” award! Don’t put off your donation until later – if we earn more in donations than any other nonprofit today between 9:00 am and 10:00 am, we’ll win an extra $300! Help us out by making a donation or by SHARING this post. We can do this! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Our school district cultivates connections via Chippewa Nature Center quite often! Through our special grant-funded partnership with CNC, we can provide our students with real-world lessons based on our updated science curriculum. We're so glad to provide unique learning experiences to our students on a regular basis!

We're so proud of soon-to-be grad Marlon Garcia! Congratulations to you and all you've accomplished here with us at Coleman Schools. We know you'll succeed in the U.S. Navy! #ColemanCometPride

You’ve seen these posts all day, but have you taken a chance to look at our fundraising page, yet? Supporting this cause means that your dollars can support generations to come – that’s the beauty of an Endowment Fund! Read our story and donate here: https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Here, two of our middle school students pose with their Peace Posters from the annual competition judged by the Lions Club! What better way to cultivate connections with the community and to get in touch with their personal integrity? We love to see their hard work and love the message even more!

(Don’t forget to SHARE, too!) https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Thanks to the support of our Board of Education, we were able to fund the purchase of enough solar eclipse glasses so that ALL of our K-12 students could safely view the eclipse! This rare opportunity cultivated connections by creating a cool memory that these students will remember forever . . . and that may also spark interest in the field of astronomy!

Our district is committed to helping our students "grow for the future," and you can help them, too! #GiveLocalMidland is live until 11:59 pm tonight -- you can donate to our endowment fund during today's special event to help us earn additional matching funds and prizes with every donation. This only happens once a year, so please consider making a donation today if you can! Check out our fundraising page here (and don’t forget to SHARE!): https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Here at Coleman, we even have alumni that continue to cultivate connections within and outside of our district! Comet alum Shane Gross, along with his teammates at SVSU, engineered an operational automatic smart aquaponics system that they then donated to our Agriscience program! The SVSU team gave an educational presentation about the system to the students; who will reap the benefits from the high-tech system. How cool!

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! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools These kindergarteners spent a day last fall cultivating connections to the agriscience program and all of the fun that goes along with it! Our high school ag students helped plan a "fall fun" day for the elementary school students featuring hayrides, crafts, and pumpkins. In this picture, the students are enjoying the school forest property, We love opportunities for our students to come together and be leaders!

Can’t donate today? Helping us SHARE our posts today is almost as important! Spreading the word helps us reach those who don’t have us added on social media . . . who might be able to help us win this next prize!

Let's go for it! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools This student is making connections between the microscopic world and ours by viewing cells under a microscope! She's either looking at pond water samples or at a swab of her own cells, both of which can be very interesting research!

Thanks so much to everyone who has donated so far! If you did, share in the comments below why you felt it was important! If you’re still on the fence, at the very least it is super easy to SHARE this post and help us spread the word.
