31aa categorical funding is from the State and supports Health (physical and mental) and now also includes Safety. In the past and on-going, we are using a portion of the 31aa funds to support our School Nurse, her materials/equipment and training she receives or provides.
The Safety funding used to be under Section 97 and is now moved to 31aa. Previous Safety funding was used to purchase updated bus cameras and stop arm camera systems, bus radios, additional door ID contact areas, TV camera system, PA system updates, building radios and safety signage for the buildings. Some of this has already been installed and some is on the way.
With the Health and Safety areas now being combined, we are seeking some additional input from parents, students, community and staff around areas they feel this funding could support. Please take a few minutes to read the information at the top and fill out the survey at this link to give your input: https://forms.gle/Guj3xwRczQEdiRwt5 Please complete the survey by Nov. 10th.

Some of our awesome student leaders attended Midland County Youth Impact Partnership's Leadership Day on October 24 in Bullock Creek. Our students learned about sense of purpose, positive peer relationships, and self-esteem. After the break out sessions, they were given time to brainstorm ideas for their school's week of kindness, which is November 13-17. Our students did a great job representing Coleman Community Schools!
3rd Grade students brainstorming, planning and building prototypes for collecting weather data with Chippewa Nature Center! Groups made precipitation gauges, devices to measure wind speed and direction and more. Mr. Frisbee encourages them to encourage one another and to be brave in their attempts at creating a working prototype. Even groups that were unable to create a finished product learned the importance of positivity and strong work ethic. An extra thank you to Corteva for providing us with a grant allowing us to bring in Chippewa Nature Center every month to educate our 2nd and 3rd grade students!

Recently, members of the Michigan FFA visited the Coleman Regional Agriscience Center. Following is a letter shared with Mr. Fischer and Mrs. Zwemmer about their visit. We are incredibly proud of the students, our teachers and the program. Great work! #GOCOMETS
Good Morning Mr. Fischer,
Logan and I had a great time visiting your chapter and getting to know you and your students! We really appreciate you opening your classroom to us. I especially enjoyed learning more about how your program works and seeing the barn. Your classes were so fun to work with, we loved being able to use those full 2 hours! I think I can speak for both of us when I say this was one of our favorite visits. Also, if you have those group pictures or any other pictures from the day we would love to have you share those! We look forward to hopefully seeing you and your students again soon.
Thank you again,
Lilly Nyland
Michigan FFA State Secretary
