Dear Coloma Families,

It has been a productive January at Coloma Community Schools. We enjoyed a high-energy return from the holiday break, and it was wonderful to see our "Comet Pride" back in full swing as we kicked off the second half of the school year. Our focus this month remained on academic growth and the importance of consistent daily attendance. We also celebrated our Board of Education, the individuals who spend countless hours behind the scenes advocating for and supporting our students’ futures.

As we reach the midway point of the year, thank you for your continued partnership. We look forward to the growth the coming months will bring.

Go Comets!

Sincerely,

Dave Ehlers

Superintendent

The sophomore English department recently combined journals from three classrooms worth of students' writing into one collective journal, with a copy for each student to take home. We are grateful to the staff members who helped publish these journals. What an awesome keep-sake to cherish!

Right before the holiday break in December, our Coloma Intermediate staff met at Coloma Lanes for a celebration. Through healthy competition and a pot-luck meal, a good time was had by all. We love seeing our staff connect and recharge outside the classroom so they can bring their best energy back to our students. It’s safe to say this team is right up our alley!

Our CHS National Honor Society students brightened the holidays for Young Fives by dropping off special gifts before the December break. We are so proud of these student leaders for their generosity and for being such incredible role models for our youngest learners. Way to lead by example, NHS!

Join us in celebrating Kristen Martin, paraprofessional in the Young Fives program at Coloma Elementary. She embodies what it means to be a leader, and cares deeply about her students. We appreciate you, Ms. Martin!

At Coloma High School and Coloma Junior High, our students have the opportunity to be creative, think big and have fun through Art Club. Hear more about this program from advisor Megan Ferguson. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1728655618113913
