Thursday is Leadership Night! Don't miss this special event taking place at the elementary school Thursday evening with a FREE dinner provided by our Culinary students! See you there! #LEADLikeAComet


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!











5th grader Jayla and 1st grader Landon were our awesome Pledge Leaders for tonight! They recited the Pledge of Allegiance loud and proud like leaders to kick off the start of the Board Meeting. Thanks for coming tonight, we enjoyed having you here! #LEADLikeAComet



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! ☔

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











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











Next Thursday is Leadership Night! Don't miss this special event taking place at the elementary school next week featuring a FREE dinner provided by our Culinary students! See you there! #LEADLikeAComet


Mr. Taylor Jardas was one of our super cool WatchD.O.G.S. recently! Here he is with his son Jaxon and Mr. Boom's 4th grade class during gym time and his daughter Avery. Thank you Mr. Jardas for spending the day with us!



MORE Halloween pics? We just keep finding them! Looks like Kindergarten had a fun party!









Kindergarten had a bunch of different fall-themed areas to discover: Exploring pumpkins, measuring pumpkins, pumpkin creations with apple stamps, and hammering tees into pumpkins. 🎃






Ms. Boulis' 5th graders participated in a water cycle activity with a member of the Chippewa Nature Center. They worked together to get "water" to flow, did an activity to show the different ways water can travel, and created posters of the water cycle.








Kindergarteners recently practiced some scientific reactions using baking soda and vinegar to make a volcano! 🌋 Looks like fun!

The band performed their annual Halloween concert (sorry, a little late in sharing!) for the elementary students, complete with iconic tunes such as: "Ghostbusters," "Scary Had A Little Lamb," and "Revenge of the Dust Bunnies." Drum Major Kapre Lynch even took a turn conducting! #LEADLikeAComet



2nd grade took some time to prioritize outdoor education recently! They studied types of trees and leaves and enjoyed the much nicer-than-normal fall weather. 🍂

Mrs. Whittington's class took a lovely fall trip to Chippewa Nature Center, too! Even our youngest Comets love outdoor education and natural science! 🍂






Look who came back to volunteer at Coleman Elementary School! Welcome back to Mrs. Rachel Brownlee, former CES teacher turned FUMC Read to Lead Volunteer. We LOVE having you help us! Mrs. Brownlee is one of the volunteers from Faith United Methodist Church who has trained and is working with our students in reading. We greatly appreciate our the support of our volunteers like Mrs. Brownlee and feel extra appreciative that we've had her come back and see us! #LEADLikeAComet
