Seniors Victoria Kennedy and Emma Ranck have been working on a FUN science project totally inspired, created, and managed by them. Their betta sorority (a tank of only female betta fish), has been thriving in Mr. Kalitta's room under their careful care. They love these type of fish and wanted to share that love with other students at the Jr/Sr High. The other students have really enjoyed checking in to see their growth, as well. Nice work ladies! 🐟 #LEADLikeAComet

Mr. Sampson, one of our Jr/Sr High English teachers, shared this poster handmade by one of his students for his classroom. Raise your hand if you wish your handwriting was this nice and neat! 🙋 #LEADLikeAComet
If any of you know Princess, please let her know that we are really trying to get her kids back in school and hoping the warmer temps later this morning will get us there. I heard yesterday that she just can't take another day of "beauty school". Hang in there, Princess! We're thinking of you!~ Mrs. McCormack
Good Morning- Wed., Jan. 7, 2026- Coleman is on a 2-hour delay this morning. We are really trying to get students in, but we have more ice than yesterday morning in some areas. The hope is a delay will give more time for the salt to work and it will bring light to make things safer. Thank you for working with us on this as I know it adjusts all of your days.
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!
Tues., Jan. 6, 2026- Coleman Schools will be closed today. Information about afternoon and evening events will be posted around noon today.
Every month, Mrs. Hamina borrows some 7th graders from Ms. Klykken's art class to help refresh the school bulletin boards. Thanks for helping out, Comets! ☄️
Our brand-new Creative Writing class, taught by Mr. Sampson, is a huge hit this year! ✍️ Students are already creating some amazing work, and they even get to compete in MSAC Creative Writing competitions! 📝 Get a behind-the-scenes look at what makes this class so cool! ✨ Check out the site here: https://www.colemanschools.net/page/creative-writing #CreativeWriting #LEADLikeAComet #Literacy
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.
Patriot’s Pen Essay Contest Winners Announced! In September, 7th grade students wrote essays as part of an essay contest sponsored by the VFW. The topic was “How are you showing patriotism and support for our country?” The winners from the Coleman Post #1071 were announced.
Winning first place was Kaylee Whitmore, and second place was awarded to Conrad Peters. Jase Howdyshell earned third place. Each winner was awarded a cash prize, courtesy of VFW Post #1071.
Congratulations to our essay winners, and a special thank you to VFW Post #1071 for their generous prize donations!
We are thrilled to announce a major upgrade to our football field! 🏈 Our old scoreboard served us well for 23 years (since 2002!), but an upgrade was necessary due to many of its parts and technology becoming obsolete over the years.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community donors, this new scoreboard is fully funded! 🎉 A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible: C.W. Gordon, United Bay Community Credit Union, T-Mobile, Robinson Industries, and the Class of 2025 ❤️ We're looking forward to offically recognizing you all during the Fall 2026 Football Season.

Congrats to Ag for Becoming MAEAP-verified! 🌱 Becoming MAEAP-certified (Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program) means the farm is a superhero for the environment, voluntarily adopting top-tier practices to protect natural resources! The farm's verification in cropping, farmstead, and livestock systems shows a commitment to everything from soil conservation and nutrient management to safe chemical storage and animal care.
Verification in this program involves applying through the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), completing a risk assessment, attending educational sessions, developing an action plan, and passing a final inspection. This verification process offers potential benefits including regulatory protection, financial assistance, and a sense of pride and legacy for future generations. Pretty cool! 🌱 To learn more about the Agriscience program, check out the webpage here: https://www.colemanschools.net/page/agriscience
