ColtCast

On this episode, we learn more about a Comstock STEM Academy student's idea to make the stressful jobs of first responders a little less stressful through technology. We'll also learn more about: - A school counselor working to improve the lives of students at two of our schools - A grant from the American Geophysical Union that is making it possible for seventh grade students at Comstock Middle School to use drones and Play-Doh to make a local park more sustainable - Starting a new library from scratch - That's just what's happening at Compass High School.

This fourth edition of ColtCast comes to us after a busy summer! Some schools are starting to settle into their new homes, and we're starting to hit our stride. This edition of ColtCast offers some information about schedule changes to homecoming activities due to the EEE outbreak in our region. We also cover these topics: - The Josh Whitfield Memorial Athletic Fund, and how the JWMAF is helping to make a big difference in our district. - Comstock Early Learning Academy is the newest member of the Comstock community of schools. Learn a little bit more about what they offer. - The Career Technical Education measure that is being proposed to Kalamazoo County voters this November. KRESA Superintendent David Campbell provides some insight into what the approval of this proposal would provide to Kalamazoo County — and Comstock — students and businesses.

This third edition of ColtCast comes to us as the school year is coming to a close. With that thought in mind, we've devoted this installment of our podcast to some things associated with the close of the school year: - Compass High School graduation ceremonies - Comstock High School's track team talks about state championships - Decision Day at CHS, where graduating seniors share their post-Comstock plans

The second edition of Colt Cast is almost entirely devoted to Jasons! We talk to: - Jason James, head coach of the girls' varsity soccer team - Jason Fritz, director of Comstock Bands. This week is a big week for Comstock Bands, and Mr. Fritz tells us why. - Sean Gillette, Facilities Director for Comstock Public Schools. When voters approved a sinking fund earlier this month, opportunities are created to make some repairs and improvements in our schools.

This is the first edition of "Colt Cast," a podcast about the Comstock Public Schools. In this premier edition we talk about: - NEMS social studies teacher Cindy Bloom, and her upcoming expedition to the British and Irish Isles - STEM Academy's Science Olympiad coach, and a couple of the SciOly competitors about their trip to Michigan State University for the State Science Olympiad competition - The May 7 Sinking Fund ballot measure
