Coleman Community Schools

Coleman Schools will be closed Monday, January 15th, due to continued drifting on backroads. We also have very low hanging branches due to the heavy snow on about half of our routes which would be unsafe with students on the bus. Local road commissions have done a great job of getting to all they can and we sincerely appreciate all of their efforts. A determination on evening events and voluntary high school practices will be made by noon tomorrow. A determination will also be made by noon on the Board of Education meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in the Auditorium. Please be safe and stay warm.

Given that the Jr/Sr High staff and students did not have enough time this week to prepare for exams, we are changing up the format of next week a bit. Please see our new schedule below: Monday, 1/15: Students will be given an extra day of review in all of their classes. Tuesday, 1/16-Thursday, 1/17: Students will be given exams in their classes. Teachers will be communicating on Monday to students and their parents what day(s) they are giving the exam in their classes. Families should expect emails from the teachers letting you know when to be prepared for the exam in each of their classes.

Coleman Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday, January 12th, 2024, due to the impending storm and weather warning. All practices are canceled. All games are canceled and will be rescheduled. Please be safe and stay warm. Have a good weekend.

In September, 7th grade students wrote essays as part of an essay contest sponsored by the VFW. The topic was “How Are You Inspired by America?” The winners from the Coleman Post #1071 were announced. Winning first place was Lauren Geeck (not pictured), and second place was awarded to Cora Knight. Brystal Berthume earned third place. Each winner was awarded a cash prize, courtesy of VFW Post #1071. Congratulations to our essay winners, and a special thank you to VFW Post #1071 for their generous prize donations!

Ms. Dittenber's class has been up to all kinds of fun festive activities this month!

Blake and Lillian used their awesome leadership skills to recite the Pledge of Allegiance for us at the start of the monthly board meeting tonight! We love seeing our Pledge Leaders every month -- thank you Blake and Lillian for coming out tonight, you both did an excellent job!

Last week, Drama Club put on an awesome Christmas program featuring not only Santa, Mrs. Claus, and some elves, but also Romeo and Juliet, Glinda, Dorothy, and some munchkins from the Wizard of Oz, Elsa and Ana from Frozen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, and Belle and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, our upcoming spring musical! Thanks all for all the hard work, we always love to see what Drama Club will bring us next!

6th grade walked with Kindergarten to the Senior Center to sing Christmas Carols and give out Christmas cards last week.

United Bay Community Credit Union very recently joined our community and immediately reached out to the district to ask what they could do to support updating the old scoreboards, which served us well for many years. Last Friday, we were excited to unveil our brand new gym scoreboards, generously and entirely paid for by United Bay! With their donation, nothing has come out of the pockets of our community to finance this project. These boards will be used for volleyball, wrestling, and basketball throughout the year and assist us in continuing to update the look of our Jr/Sr High gymnasium. A sincere thank you to United Bay Community Credit Union and its representatives for their support. Joining us from the UBCCU team that evening was Diane Abbonizio, Doug Kelly, Kerri Singley, Jen Shelby, Mackenzie Shelby, Leslie Webb, and Jayna Hafelein. A special thank you to Emily Burgess who was not able to be here that night, for her tremendous efforts and support to make this happen. Thank you all!

Even bus 19K got all spruced up for the Christmas parade last Saturday! Who else thinks we should keep our buses decked out like this all year?!
