Teacher Appreciation Week, May 8th-12th

Collicot will be joining schools across the country to celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week!

Monday: Ice Cream Social: The teachers will be treated to scoops of delicious homemade ice cream from the Ice Creamsmith of Lower Mills.

Tuesday: Thank You From Students: Students can make a card, draw a picture, write a note, or bring in another small token of appreciation for their teacher and any other staff member they would like to show appreciation for. It’s also a good time to check in with Class Parents to see which supplies your class may be running low on!

Wednesday: Teacher Appreciation Lunch & Candy Bar: Teachers will be provided a catered lunch and a special display of sweet treats compliments of the PTO.

Thursday: Gentle Yoga: A free in-studio gentle yoga class will be offered after school compliments of Fitness Unlimited! A pre-recorded gentle yoga session will also be distributed to all staff for those who cannot attend.

Friday: Parent Supplied Breakfast & Coffee: Help us treat the teachers to a delicious breakfast by signing up to bring an item in. This has always been a highlight of Teacher Appreciation Week and the food the parents have provided in the past is still talked about! If you would like to provide an item for breakfast, please click on the Sign Up Genius HERE. All items should be delivered by 7:00 on Friday morning so that the teachers can enjoy it before the students arrive.

More Upcoming Events

The rest of the school year is filled with more fun events! Click HERE for the Collicot calendar. There will be lots of parent volunteer opportunities this spring from field trip chaperones, to field day, and other activities. Please note, all volunteers must have a CORI check and these take 2 weeks to process.

Photos Needed!

Each year the 5th Grade Committee creates a yearbook with photos of the graduating class from Kindergarten through Grade 5. Photos must be from school or PTO sponsored events and the best photos include 3 or more students. We have a Drop Box account where parents can upload pictures into their child's class folder. The folders are organized by the year they will graduate from Collicot and will travel with them from year to year. We encourage parents to utilize these folders as a way to provide pictures for all to see and to help make the 5th grade yearbook that much easier to create. Please feel free to upload any pictures you may have from your child's time at Collicot.

Here are the links to the folders for each of the classes:

Please feel free to go into a folder and upload any pictures you may have!

Birthday Books

Looking for a fun way to celebrate your child's birthday and support the Collicot library? During your child’s birthday month (or half birthday), he or she can pick a book from our list of birthday books. A commemorative book plate with your child’s name and birthday will be added to the book and it will be donated to the school library. Your child will also receive a certificate thanking them for their donation. For years to come every student who reads that book will know it was a Birthday Book from your child!

Click HERE for all the information and donation form. The cost is $10.

Don't want to forget? Why wait? Sign up now and the book will be delivered during your child's birthday month!

The Collicot and Cunningham library relies on donations to add to its collection. Please consider the school library for your used children's book donations.

Textile Bin

Did you know that there are textile donation bins behind Collicot? These bins are the perfect place to put any stained or torn clothes, towels, STUFFED ANIMALS, and other items that you have been looking to get rid of, but can't donate. Items in the bin are reused if in good condition and items in poor condition are shredded and then recycled to make new textiles. Collicot receives money from Bay State Textiles monthly based on the weight of the donations in the bins. It's a great way to clean out your closets and help Collicot at the same time!
