Coleman Elementary School

STUDENTS- since I know you're awake now that you don't have to go to school ;o) spend your time on something productive. I could use some new memes or a quick video to share on ice, snow or severe cold days and I know YOU are great at making them. Parents can help, too. Keep them school/community appropriate, send them to jmccormack@colemanschools.net and yours might be used on the next Act of God Day. Include your name(s) so I can give you credit. Bonus points if it makes me laugh out loud! Let's have a little fun with it. - Mrs. McCormack

Go MAD, or "Go Make a Difference," is an annual event at Northwood University that encourages students, staff, and faculty to volunteer in the Midland community. This year, our 5th graders got a chance to visit the University and try out a lot of different sports! While the students I interviewed were mostly raving about the super cool cafeteria, they also said all the volunteers at the University were really nice and they learned a lot about "Putting First Things First" and working together. They also got to meet the mascot and snapped a cool pic!

Some pics of the Kindergarten trip to Chippewa Nature Center a few weeks ago!

Miss Dittenber and Ms. Cederstrom’s classes got to wear the school rubber boots for their recent rainy trip to the Chippewa Nature Center. These were purchased through a grant specific to our Ag K-7 program, received several years ago. We were able to purchase enough boots for all K, 1st and 2nd graders to use on these trips and when they are working in the land lab, greenhouse or barn. Perfect for the rainy weather! ☔

Ms. Dittenber's 2nd graders enjoyed some mini pumpkin art! Great job, Comets! 🎃

CES celebrated Veteran's day on Monday with a special performance for local Veterans, and they did an amazing job. Thanks to our elementary Comets and Mrs. Tallman for all your hard work, and of course, thank you to Veterans for your service to our country! ⭐ For more pictures of the event, check out our news article here: https://www.colemanschools.net/article/1875808
