Dear Collins Families,

It was great to see so many of our families during conferences this week. We want to thank everyone for attending this round of Student-Led Conferences despite the weather. We truly appreciate the time you took to share in this important part of your student’s school experience. If at any time you have any questions regarding your students educational program, please feel free to contact us.

This year we are offering additional clubs during recess. It is a huge success so far. Our 1st and 2nd graders took advantage of this during the first trimester, our 3rd and 4th graders are currently enjoying their clubs, and the 5th and 6th graders will have their turn during the third trimester. As the weather begins to get colder and we hold indoor recess, we are looking for donations of new or gently used board games and Lego sets for students who are not in clubs to use. Please send donations to the office – attention Mrs. Hall. Thank you for helping make indoor recess more enjoyable for our students!

There is no school this coming Monday. We look forward to seeing students on Tuesday, January 17th. Enjoy the long weekend.

Sincerely,

Laura Rosenblum
Principal

Dear Collins Families,

We are always so touched by the generosity of our students and families, especially at this time of year. Again this year our 5/6 students have partnered with the residents of Misericordia. As part of their service learning project they made hats, scarves, and blankets for the residents along with raising $3,600. Target was impressed by our students and made a donation too. The residents will be back for another visit on December 16th and the students will be presenting them with their gifts. I can only imagine the lasting impact this entire experience will have on our students. They’ve felt the joy in doing something for someone else. They have seen that they CAN make a significant difference to others. Please continue to read the Clips to hear more about the amazing service needs action projects the students of Collins School coordinate. I am very proud of them.

 Don’t forget tomorrow is the Collins Holiday Breakfast from 8:30 – 11:30 am. This is a wonderful PTA event and a great time to come together as a community. The PTA will also be collecting non – perishable items for baskets tomorrow that will be donated to our Holiday Adopt – A – Family project. We collect items and create baskets to give to our own Collins Families in need. Thank you to all of you who have already purchased a small toy, boxed and canned food, or donated money so our staff and PTA elves can shop to make each basket plentiful.

 The majority of our 3/4 and 5/6 students have finished MAP testing. Mrs. Hall and I were very impressed as we visited each classroom listening to teachers and students revisit their classroom and individual student goals. Students have been so excited, making sure to tell us how much growth they have made since the fall. Teachers will be sharing these results at parent conferences on January 12thand 13th. Don’t forget to mark your calendars, January 12th is a half day and students are dismissed at 11:40 am.

 I look forward to seeing you tomorrow at the Holiday Breakfast.

 Sincerely,

Laura Rosenblum
