Today we celebrate our Food Service Staff on their recognition day! This group ensures every day and throughout the summer that our students are well-fed and get the nutrition they need to make it through a long school day. Not only that, but they become mentors and another adult our students can connect with. The team works to come up with new ideas for the students and get to know them personally.
Thank you to our Food Service Team for all you do daily!
Please take a few minutes today to give them a thank you, a note, or small token of appreciation.
Congrats to one of our Comets, Ian Johnson, for reaching Eagle Scout status! We are so proud of your commitment to achieving this important milestone, Ian! #CometPride
Today is School Nurse Recognition Day, and we have one of the absolute best! When we first were able to bring a nurse to the buildings, and Mrs. Weber started with us, we knew we had found a gem. She just continues to impress us and serves not only our students, but is a fabulous resource for our staff and families as well. We are so fortunate to have her working with us.
Thank you, Mrs. Weber, for your initiative, hard-working personality and all the care you put into your job daily!
If you have a chance, please drop a quick note to Mrs. Weber, give her a thank you or a small token of appreciation.
Thanks to everyone who donated and shared posts yesterday for #GiveLocalMidland! We ended up crushing our goal within the last couple of hours, earning an amazing $2,909 overall! We also had TWICE the engagement this year than we did in 2022, thanks for all the love and support, everyone! YOU are who helps our kids keep #growingforthefuture! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools
WatchDOG, Jason Germain with Barrett Place, Grant Mogg and Miles Howdyshell last week. Thanks for coming to help out, Mr. Germain!
Earlier this year, we were approached by Mid Michigan Health to apply for a State grant for a School-Based Health Center in Coleman. We recently learned that we have been awarded the grant in collaboration with Mid Michigan Health!!
The grant provides funding for this year to remodel a small section of the old part of the elementary; Mid Michigan Health will provide any additional funding necessary. The grant and Mid Michigan Health's joint efforts will fund the space and staffing going forward. Coleman Schools will supply the space and custodial/technology connection support; otherwise, the project is paid for entirely through the grant and Mid Michigan Health.
The clinic will provide multiple services including social work and nurse practitioner for 24 hours per week, likely 4 days per week. This clinic will provide services to students grades K-12th and, based on percentages, will have some availability for adults as well. The clinic will be open year-round and because of that will assist our families in accessing services locally and reducing drive time and the cost of transportation, etc.
Clinics such as these show research of reduced absences for students, improved health and increased connection with health care workers. It also provides a strong connection between the school, health care and the community. A School-Based Health Clinic Advisory Board made up of stakeholders around the community will be created in the near future.
More to come, but we are very excited for this opportunity for our students and their families!

While there are differences in when people believe Teacher Appreciation Week is this year due to different dates shared nationally and by the state, our district Board chose Tuesday, May 2nd, as the date to recognize OUR teachers. So, we can start tomorrow and just keep it going all the way through the end of next week!
Our teachers put forth so much knowledge and skill to continuously improve the outcomes of our students in too many ways to mention. They are teachers, coaches, mentors, nurses, parents, counselors, jokers, and confidantes to our students. We greatly appreciate all that they give on a daily basis to our kids and the district as a whole.
As you get a chance, please say thank you, drop a quick note, or give a small token of appreciation to this group that gives so much to the team and community through their efforts each day.
Tomorrow is the day to VOTE for the Coleman Community Schools bond proposal! We hope you'll take some time tomorrow to stop by the polls. Visit the bond page here for more information: https://www.colemanschools.net/page/bond-information-2023
Additionally, #GiveLocalMidland begins TONIGHT at midnight and runs all day tomorrow!
