These 6th graders were having a blast playing in the snow! Thanks to Mrs. Lynch for sharing these pictures.
Mrs. Lynch reports: The 6th grade used their Math classes last week to help the PTO with the Apple Pie and Scrip card orders! Students worked in teams to check orders, count money and tabulate totals with paper/pencil. Each order was then double checked for accuracy with a calculator. Students had to initial each order to prove they agreed with what was on the paper. Every year the Coleman Elementary PTO works hard to provide field trip bussing for all classrooms along with family events and end of year activities. PTO also pays for all 6th graders to attend Mystic Lake Camp.
The Coleman Watch D.O.G.S. program (Dads of Great Students) was recently featured in the Midland Daily News! A huge thanks to Mr. Templeman for organizing this positive news coverage for our school! It was printed in yesterday's newspaper, or you can read the article here with a subscription: https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Coleman-Watch-D-O-G-S-program-increases-parental-17581681.php (Pictured is WATCH D.O.G.S Taylor Jardas, back left, and Matt Sysak, back right, with their children: Avery, front left, Jaxon, middle, and Crase, front right (photo taken by Tess DeGayner)).
Join us in 2 weeks. Come check out what Leader In Me is all about!
The elementary school had their first Habit Huddle run by the Student Lighthouse team! According to our Dean of Students, Karly Larsen, the students were really excited for this leadership opportunity. The kiddos pictured here turned in the 'I Spy a Leader' tickets that they earned and won some awesome rewards! Great job, Comets!
Our 6th graders give back to elementary families every week from October to May! They pack over 60 bags of food, from EFPN in Midland, then deliver the bags to elementary classrooms. Then, they break down all of the cardboard cases for recycling. So proud of our Comets for taking on this awesome leadership opportunity!
Many thanks to our WatchDOGS volunteers so far this year: Ryan Baker (with daughter Kyleigh), Matt Sysak (with son Crase), Stefan Jones (with nephew Dane), and Matt Huber (with sons Jason and Mathew)! We enjoyed having you hang out with us for a day. The kids had a good time, too!
