From The Principal

Collins’ Families,

The first quarter is quickly passing by.  Our dedicated staff has been working so very hard with your children as they are learning the rules and procedures of being in school full time.  Not only are we committed to providing a safe and effective learning environment for all of our cubs, we are challenging our learners in all areas of the curriculum.

We have an exciting fall planned for our community.  Our PTO has been instrumental in planning fun activities that can be enjoyed by all.  We have multiple restaurant nights planned over the next few months that have multiple benefits for our school. We also are super excited to host our Trunk-r-Treat this fall along with our Halloween celebrations and parade (weather permitting).

Our Collins' family is committed to our mission to foster a caring and enriching environment that enables all students to grow academically and socially to reach their individual potential to become lifelong learners.  We look forward to continue to partner with you along the way.

 

Best Regards,

Jena Lenz

Collins’ Principal
