Coleman Elementary School

Tues., Jan. 6, 2026- JH practices are cancelled. HS practices are voluntary. Bowling will still take place in Sanford and the team will meet at the bowling alley. The Varsity Boys Basketball game is still on tonight. Please take your time and leave a bit early as there is some ice, but with the raising temps, the ice seems to be melting on many roads. Go Comets!

Mrs. Young's class practiced addition - hot cocoa style! ☕️ who else would do more math if it involved snacking on marshmallows? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

1st grader Nash (U.S. president trivia extraordinaire 🇺🇸) & Kindergartener Evelyn (the fastest runner in her class 👟) kicked off last week's Board Meeting by leading the Pledge of Allegiance! Thanks for being great leaders in your class! #LEADLikeAComet

Matching jammies with your family is essential at Christmastime - even at school! 🎄At pajama day on Thursday, we caught principal Mrs. Araway matching with her daughters Miss J (Spanish Teacher) and Miss Sara (Paraprofessional), and brothers Xander and Rigel matching, too! 💙 we're absolutely loving the holiday spirit!

The 5th and 6th graders were really feeling the festivities this holiday spirit week! 🎅🎄

The Student Lighthouse Team enjoyed a Christmas party following their team meeting this week! Check out their graham cracker gingerbread houses. 🍬

There have been elves all over Mrs. Young's classroom all holiday season! 🎅 Yesterday, their classroom elf, Cookie, hitched a ride on Mrs. Klopf's back all day. 😆 there were also a bunch of elves swarming Mrs. Young and Mrs. Methner on her bulletin board - do you two need help!?

Some 6th grade pals started out the week in some festive fashion. Thanks for bringing more holiday cheer to the hallways today! ❄️

Thursday, 12/11/2025- Coleman Schools will be on a 2-hour delay today due to the condition of some of our backroads in both Midland and Isabella Counties. The Road Commissions have been working hard, but there was just a lot to do. Speaking with the Road Commissions last night and this morning, they will be out on those roads at 7 a.m. so we should be in good shape with a 2-hour delay. Be safe heading in later this morning.

Tuesday, 12/9/2025: In addition to the other cancellations, the Boys Basketball game is now cancelled as well due to worsening road conditions. All events/practices are now cancelled for this evening.

Wrestlers- Coach Kimball will be here BEFORE the end of the day to do weigh-ins for the meet tomorrow and wrestlers will be called down so they can still get on the bus or home at the end of the day.

Thanks to Thor & Clark for being our Pledge Leaders at the Board Meeting Monday night! Clark was a little too shy to have his picture taken, but we appreciate them both for being great leaders in their school! #ColemanCometPride #LEADLikeAComet

Reminder! TONIGHT is Leadership Night at the elementary school! The event starts at 6:00 pm and free dinner will be provided. Thank you to all of the local businesses who have donated time and resources for the event - we have some amazing door prizes up for grabs!

Check out the 6th grade Halloween costumes!

3rd Grade Update! ☁️ 🌧️ 🐐 In mid-September, 3rd graders built their own anemometers for their "wild, wacky, weather" unit, Sean Long donated a rain gauge and an anemometer for us to keep, and Lillian Wright's family brought in a goat for the 3rd graders to pet!

Last week, Chartwells hosted a National Apple Crunch Day celebration! 🍎 In both buildings, students got to sample different varieties of fresh fall apples. What a beautiful, edible display! 🍏 #LEADLikeAComet

Thanks to our awesome Pledge Leaders at Monday's Board Meeting, Kathy & Layna! We're so proud of you both for being great leaders in your class. #LEADLikeAComet #ColemanCometPride
