Mr. Taylor Jardas was one of our super cool WatchD.O.G.S. recently! Here he is with his son Jaxon and Mr. Boom's 4th grade class during gym time and his daughter Avery. Thank you Mr. Jardas for spending the day with us!
Recently, the Culinary students participated in a "boot camp" to learn about how Prostart and SkillsUSA run in a competition form, and what different types of stations could be encountered. They had six stations in total with them being Management, knife skills, cake decorating, plate setting, sauces, and cooler setup. They all went through every station within 45 minute intervals to represent the school and their abilities. Most of them were group-based to help them coordinate the station to accomplish their goals within each station. How cool! https://www.colemanschools.net/page/culinary-arts-program
MORE Halloween pics? We just keep finding them! Looks like Kindergarten had a fun party!
Kindergarten had a bunch of different fall-themed areas to discover: Exploring pumpkins, measuring pumpkins, pumpkin creations with apple stamps, and hammering tees into pumpkins. 🎃
Next week, we celebrate kindness District wide! Our Youth Leadership kids have planned activities throughout the week in both buildings. Check out what to expect.
Ms. Boulis' 5th graders participated in a water cycle activity with a member of the Chippewa Nature Center. They worked together to get "water" to flow, did an activity to show the different ways water can travel, and created posters of the water cycle.
The Ag Program recently got a nice shout-out from a Midland High student's parent!
"Hi, Just wanted to say thank you for supporting the Ag program! My daughter attended the national FFA convention last week and got to meet with all 3 colleges she was considering for Ag Business. It is VERY cool that she can attend her home school - Midland High- and still do the things she is interested in with the Ag program. Your Ag teachers are amazing and really great at what they do. Thanks!!"
This unique program is open to all Midland County 10th - 12th graders, including homeschool students! https://www.colemanschools.net/page/agriscience
Kindergarteners recently practiced some scientific reactions using baking soda and vinegar to make a volcano! 🌋 Looks like fun!
Leadership Night: November 21!
The band performed their annual Halloween concert (sorry, a little late in sharing!) for the elementary students, complete with iconic tunes such as: "Ghostbusters," "Scary Had A Little Lamb," and "Revenge of the Dust Bunnies." Drum Major Kapre Lynch even took a turn conducting! #LEADLikeAComet
TOMORROW MORNING is Booksgiving! K - 2nd grade families, come read with us and receive some free books during breakfast time. We hope to see you there! 📚
Last week, Chef Jacob Moore invited Mr. Dave Urlaub, President of the State SkillsUSA, and Chef Andy Bacigalupo to Culinary at the Depot. They discussed how SkillsUSA works including leadership building, Culinary Arts certifications, competitions both State and National, and presentation/public speaking skills. SkillsUSA is an in-class curriculum that allows students to build skills before graduation with the potential to become a national champion. If you are familiar with Ag, think FFA but for Culinary Arts. Coleman Culinary students, including students from Bullock Creek, Coleman, Dow High, Meridian and Midland High are being immersed in the SkillsUSA and ProStart curriculums, so watch out to see what they accomplish! https://www.colemanschools.net/page/culinary-arts-program #LEADLikeAComet #ColemanCometPride
