Exciting news! 🎉 We've been installing solar panels on campus this summer that cost us ZERO dollars and will potentially save us THOUSANDS, thanks to the Michigan School Energy Cooperative and NorthStar Solar Panels! ☀️ We are installing two sets of panels, one near each building. The best part? We'll save money, utilize unused space, and use them as a unique learning tool for students to learn more about solar energy. Sound too good to be true? Read all about it on our Facilities Updates page here! 🌐 https://www.colemanschools.net/page/facilities-updates

6th grader Ramsey Methner did a great job as our last Pledge Leader of the school year!

Thanks Ramsey for being a great leader in your class! #LEADLikeAComet

ELEMENTARY PARENTS: We just noticed that Publishing Day was incorrect in our calendars. It will be on Thursday, March 20th at 2 pm. The event has been adjusted and should show up correctly on the website shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience!

March is Reading Month, and Coleman Elementary is packed with fun reading opportunities for students! 3rd-6th grade students were given bookmarks. When a student reads 10 books and completes their bookmark, they have the opportunity to turn that bookmark into a real book! Students then get to leave their mark by signing their name in the book before donating it to the library for future Comets to love and enjoy. We can't wait for you to see how many books our upper elementary students were able to donate during our publishing day! Publishing day is March 20th from 2:00-2:30, following our 3-6th grade Book Bash from 1:15-1:45 (More information to come!)

On Friday, Mr. Liechty was walking around the Midland Mall Comic Con when student Marlena Burns found him. She had entered in the Kid’s Cosplay Contest as a Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura. Great job, Marlena!

5th grade got to watch a movie and eat snacks on Valentine's Day. Looks like a fun time!

1st graders Quinn and Sophia did an excellent job reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at the Board Meeting tonight! Thanks for being great leaders in your class and great representatives of Coleman Elementary! #LEADLikeAComet

Sophia McCallister dressed up for 100's day. She looks prety convincing to me!

Today is School Resource Officer (SRO) Recognition Day and we are fortunate to have Deputy Chas Wakeman with us daily to mentor, ensure safety and provide feedback to our staff and students. He has been a valuable asset since beginning with us, bringing with him a great deal of knowledge. He takes the role very seriously and is incredibly professional, willing to do whatever is asked (or even not asked) to support our students and staff. We are happy to have you with us and hope to have you here for a long time. Enjoy your day, Deputy Wakeman, and thank you for being a part of the Coleman Comet team. We would also like to thank Community Resource Deputy Connor Smith. Community Resource Deputy Smith has been with us this week and will substitute for Deputy Wakeman if he has training to attend or a meeting set. Talking with him yesterday, he is enjoying his time with us, the change in schedule and being with the students and staff. We appreciate his knowledge and effort. Thank you to the Midland County community who approved the SRO Enhancement Millage when these roles began almost 7 years ago and for renewing it. Thank you also to Sheriff Scott Holzinger for recognizing the importance of having School Resource Officers in our schools every day.
