The high school Spanish class practiced their skills by writing comic strips en español last week! Can you read what they wrote? If you have a student in the Elementary School, they might be able to help translate! Our school district proudly offers K-12 Spanish classes for all students. #growingforthefuture

Comet Cheerleaders spent some time making school spirit posters to pump up the students for the first varsity football game of the season tonight!

In only the second week of school, it sounds like the students in Mr. Falor's Finance Class are already learning tons! They're working on setting SMART goals, short and long-term education and financial goals, and using tools like the Ramsey Investment Calculator to help them see the value of investments. Did you know your retirement savings could end up being TWICE as much if you start investing at age 18 versus age 26?! Check out the Ramsey Investment Calculator here to see an example just one of the things students are learning at Coleman Schools. https://www.ramseysolutions.com/retirement/investment-calculator
The Jr/Sr High students recently received some new recess equipment! The equipment was purchased after sending out a survey to get feedback last year from parents, students and staff on their recommendations for district safety and wellness needs.
You asked . . . We responded! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Our Ignite videography club has been so successful that we have extended it an additional 2 weeks. Students have learned how to splice, add music and make edits to come up with a delicious video (posted separately) that our extended Cooking Club students made for this collaboration project. This coincided with our WCMU career readiness field trip to learn and get the behind-the-scenes of different types of careers in the MultiMedia Field. Ty Klopf has been an additional and welcoming fresh breath of air with our students and they have really taken to him. It shows by how they show up and are willing and wanting to participate in the lessons he has planned. Learn more about this awesome program at their site here: https://sites.google.com/cgresd.net/ignite-chs?usp=sharing
