Spirit Week, St Patrick's Day and More!

March is packed with fun events for our Collicot Cardinals!

Thursday, March 16th - Collicot's Annual St. Patrick's Day Celebration

Please join us at morning drop-off as we will have the pleasure of hosting local bagpiper, Tim McMaster, to entertain students and staff in honor of St. Patrick's Day. This is always an exciting and festive morning for all! Thank you to all the students who signed up for Irish Step Dancing during lunch!

Monday - Comfy Cozy Day! Students can wear their comfiest clothes to school! A perfect way to return to school after a long weekend!

Tuesday - The 5th grade has chosen an 80s theme!

Wednesday - Favorite Sports Team Day! Show off those Boston sports jerseys or rep some Wildcats swag!

Thursday - Collicot Day! Fifth graders will wear their Class of 2023 t-shirts to get ready for the annual student/faculty basketball game. Grades K-4, show off your red, white and black as you cheer for the 5th grade!

Friday - Crayon Day! Each grade will wear a designated color!

There is a suggested donation of $1 to the Class of 2023 to participate in Spirit Week. 5th grade students will be outside the entrance of the school on Monday morning collecting donations.

More Ways to Support Collicot & Our Community

Annual Appeal

Your donation will help to fund field trips, classroom subscriptions, guest speakers, curriculum enrichment, teacher mini-grants and more! You can donate HERE or if you'd prefer to donate by check, please send your check to the Main Office via your child’s backpack/teacher in an envelope labeled “PTO Contribute for Collicot” or mail it to Collicot School PTO, 80 Edge Hill Road, Milton, MA 02186. THANK YOU for your support!

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 are Back!

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!
