Hello, Families and Friends,

It has been a high-energy week at Topeka Collegiate. Between the Chiefs Super Bowl Championship, Valentine's Day parties, and various spaces impacted by construction progress, excitement was in the air. 

These positive vibes were cut short by the tragic events following the Chiefs parade. We had several members of our school community at the event. The following minutes, hours, and days are changed for someone confronted with such tragic, scary, and seemingly meaningless acts. My heart goes out to those who are struggling with this most recent shooting. The National Association of School Psychologists has provided an article on how to talk to children about these events. Please let us know if your child needs some extra care; those of us at school will be sure to wrap around them in support.

Also, this week, we saw more than our fair share of illness. We were stretched quite thin with five faculty/staff and a leadership team member out with illness. One of the best things about our staff is their willingness to pitch in and help one another. They are incredible! We want to remind our families of our Eagles360 program. Parents can have their students tested for COVID-19, strep, and the flu through our Wellness room. Additionally, we have take-home OTC COVID tests that can be provided when requested. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact sayhello@topekacollegiate.org.

Best,

Dr. Lyn D. Rantz

Head of School

2024 Summer Blast

Topeka Collegiate will once again be hosting consistent, student-centered, safe, and FUN summer camps in Summer 2024. Called Summer Blast 2024, Topeka Collegiate will host seven themed weeks for children in Grades 1-8. Our new Summer Blast Director, Hayley Smith, is excited about new themes and new activities found here to keep children engaged throughout the summer days. 

Summer Blast will begin on June 3 and run through July 26, with no camp the week of July 1. Registration is now open. Current Collegiate families will receive 10% off each week’s registration, so be sure to look for that code posted in the hallways. So check your calendars and get your registrations taken care of. 

Evening on Eveningside

I hope you have saved that date and plan to join us to celebrate and raise funds together for our school.

Please complete the donation form found here by Friday, March 1, to ensure all items are listed in the event catalog. The opportunities to help are diverse and plentiful, ensuring there's a perfect fit for everyone. Items must be delivered to the school on or before Monday, April 1.

In addition, volunteers are the heartbeat of our successful event. Check out our list of committees with descriptions and time commitments here. 

We look forward to showcasing the new spaces with the broader Collegiate school community!
