Coleman Community Schools

If you’ve been looking for a way to support the school district but you haven’t checked out our Give Local Midland page yet, what are you doing!? Of course, we deeply appreciate all donations – but don’t forget the power of a SHARE! Thanks to everyone who has helped us out today by donating and by sharing these posts out to your networks – we couldn’t do it without you! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Recently, our Jr/Sr High students suggested a school-wide rock-paper-scissors competition in order to raise staff and student morale . . . and we might have to make it an annual thing! Students and staff cultivated connections all day, building good sportsmanship and prioritizing a positive district culture. In this picture, a student takes the "crown" from a staff member after defeating him!

Thanks to our generous donors so far, we're already 28% of the way to our $3,000 goal! A minimum donation is only $5 -- even a little bit helps ensure we have usable funds in the future for generations to come! DONATE or SHARE today! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools

We’re still trying to win the “Coffee Break” award! Don’t put off your donation until later – if we earn more in donations than any other nonprofit today between 9:00 am and 10:00 am, we’ll win an extra $300! Help us out by making a donation or by SHARING this post. We can do this! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Our school district cultivates connections via Chippewa Nature Center quite often! Through our special grant-funded partnership with CNC, we can provide our students with real-world lessons based on our updated science curriculum. We're so glad to provide unique learning experiences to our students on a regular basis!

Let’s attempt to win another prize! If we are able to earn the most in donations between 9:00 am (now!) and 10:00 am than any other participating organization today, we'll win the "Coffee Break" award and an additional $300 for our endowment fund! (A nice chunk to go towards our $3,000 goal today . . .) Let's go for it! Don’t forget to SHARE to help us win! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Our Culinary students had many opportunities to cultivate connections this year, as well! This image is from one of their "stressors," which are realistic recreations of what it's like to work in a restaurant. We invited staff and community members to stop by and order breakfast just like a real restaurant. . . . and the students did amazingly under the pressure!

#GiveLocalMidland is going on all day today until 11:59 pm, and we're asking for your generosity to help our district grow! If you've been thinking about donating, NOW is the time! Check out our Give Local page here to read our story, learn more about the endowment fund, and DONATE to help us grow! Please SHARE to help spread the word! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools The Veteran's Day ceremony was an excellent opportunity for students to feel connected with our community, and vice versa! Student enjoying learning and singing a representative song for each branch of the military, as well as reciting stories, offering gifts to our visiting Veterans, and thanking them all for their service. It was a meaningful experience for all.

There’s no better day to support your favorite nonprofit . . . and we know we’re it ;) You can donate to our endowment fund anytime, but during Give Local Midland, there are lots of opportunities to earn extra prizes and matching funds, not to mention that all donations today go directly to the spendable portion that we can access immediately! Take a second today to donate or SHARE our posts to help us support future projects that support our students! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools The 3rd grade had the opportunity this year to visit Lansing, and it was an awesome opportunity to cultivate Comet connections! Students learned all about Michigan government, history, and culture, and had a great time doing it.

If you’re still awake right now, take a moment to donate or SHARE this post to help us start off Giving Day strong! If we receive the most unique donors to our endowment fund before 1 am, we’ll win an additional $300! We’ll need every cent in order to reach our $3,000 goal today! https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Check out our Comet baseball team! Athletics are a great way to cultivate Comet connections: they build teamwork skills, promote good values like dedication and responsibility, and strengthen relationships with peers.

#GiveLocalMidland starts NOW! Donate sometime between now and 1 am to help us win the “Early Bird” award and an extra $300 towards our endowment fund! What's an endowment fund? Learn more and donate here: https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools Agriscience students pose with their FFA certificates after the annual FFA banquet! FFA cultivates Comet connections by encouraging leadership opportunities via student officers, expanding student horizons with each state convention and conference, and by connecting with students from other districts to improve peer relationships. How cool is that?

If you're still awake this late, then you're getting a sneak peak at the theme for this year's Give Local Midland, starting at midnight tonight! Grab your other night owl friends to help us win this challenge: the nonprofit that gets the highest number of different donors between midnight and 1 am will win an extra $300 towards their endowment fund! Set your alarms for midnight and get ready for a full day of fundraising! Check out our fundraising page here: https://www.givelocalmidland.org/organizations/coleman-community-schools
