Welcome back to all of our students, staff and families and Happy New Year! Here's to a great 2022 for everyone.
In October, 7th grade students wrote essays as part of an essay contest sponsored by the VFW. The topic was “How Can I Be a Good American?” The winners from the Coleman Post #1071 were announced just before break.
Winning first place was Bailey Gates, and second place was awarded to Danica Sabat. Emia Champaign 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!
McKayla Stillwell was awarded a certificate and a $50.00 check this fall for her Peace Poster entry in the annual Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest. Her Poster has now moved on to the district competition. Great job McKayla! Best of luck in the districts!
Also, a big thank you to the Coleman Lions Club and a very special thank you to Ann Roeseler for her continued support for our students and their artwork.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the entire Comet Family! Wishing you safe travels, time with family and friends and relaxing days with many naps. 🎄 See you January 3rd for a fantastic 2022!
