Some of our 5th-12th grade Summer Extended Learning students have chosen to experience a variety of electives throughout the summer. They have been part of a Table Top Virtual Welder Competition with Merrill Institute, dance instructions with Mrs. Tallman, learned about Career-Technical Education (CTE) classes with Mr. Johnson and resume writing and saving money with Mr. Falor so far. This week they are learning skills in Horticulture/Landscaping with Mr. Kalitta. This funds for the Horticulture/Landscaping projects came from a grant with the Midland Area Community Foundation where students and community members work together to create curb appeal and beautify the town.
These 5th -8th grade students are also able to use Exact Path on the computer to build reading and math skills specifically tailored to them at school and home and our 9th-12th grade students are involved in extra classes over the summer both in person and virtually.
Feel free to join us in person or via the Livestream link in the QR code.

EBT applications are due July 30.

In October, students wrote essays as part of an essay contest sponsored by the VFW. The topic was “What is Patriotism to Me?” The winners from the Coleman Post #1071 were recently announced.
Winning first place was 7th grader Lilian Rice, and second place was awarded to Jaydia Altenburg, 7th grader. 7th grader Ashlynn Rice (not pictured) 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!

Some exciting news! We have been able, with some of the federal funding we received this year, to purchase enough Chromebooks to be 1:1 for students. The District Curriculum Committee has been talking with teachers and we will be planning just what 1:1 will look like based on the grade level of students and a multi-year plan for teaching students how best to use the devices. We'll be sharing that information out as we get closer to next year.
Just a quick reminder if your child(ren) are in the Online Learning Academy or in quarantine or have borrowed a Chromebook/charger at any time this year that has not yet been returned, please bring that to the school.
We will have staff available late today, Friday, June 4th from 3-4:30 p.m. and Monday, June 7th from 9-noon. Even if your child will be in a summer program, they should still be returned first and then we will reassign Chromebooks. You can return other days through next week as well when secretaries are in the office. Costs for anyone not returning these items or any damage will be sent to homes within the two weeks and report cards will be held. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Have a wonderful summer!
