Hello, Collicot Cardinals!

The Lantern Walk is THIS FRIDAY, October 30th, and we still need volunteers! Help us keep this wonderful Collicot tradition going by lending a hand for a little bit of your evening!

We're looking for helpers from 6-7PM to assist with setup, hand out lantern tea lights, and guide families along the walking route. We promise it will be fun, and our wonderful team of Lantern Walk coordinators will be there to show you the ropes and help with every task. No experience needed!

Even a little bit of your time makes a big difference. Please consider signing up to help make this special evening possible!

Lantern Walk & Pumpkin Stroll - Both on October 30th!

Join us for a festive fall day at Collicot!

Pumpkin Stroll: Bring your favorite decorated or carved pumpkin with you to school in the morning to display along the walkway outside the Collicot main entrance! Please note, pumpkins must have school-appropriate decorations and must be picked up at the end of the day.

Lantern Walk: Grab your family and homemade lantern (or flashlight!) for an evening stroll around Cunningham Park! Costumes and siblings are welcome!

Veterans Day Assembly, November 10th

We would like to invite any Collicot-connected Veterans who have served in the Armed Forces to be recognized and honored by our school community. We recognize that every Veteran has different comfort levels regarding participation - we're happy to honor Collicot Veterans that are able to attend in person, and those we will honor from a distance.

Please complete this form if you would like to bring a Veteran to be recognized.

Fruit Center Shopping Week

Get ready for the 17th Annual Fruit Center Marketplace Fundraising Program for our schools, happening next month!

Over the past 16 years, the Fruit Center has proudly donated, though this program, over $210,000 to schools in Milton and Hingham. The program is open to all K–12 schools in these towns, including both public and private schools.

Here’s how it works:

• Dates: The program runs from Monday, November 9 through Sunday, November 15.
• Vouchers: Present a Collicot shopping voucher when you shop during the fundraising week. You can use your vouchers for unlimited shopping trips during the week.
• Give Back: After the week ends, we’ll calculate 20% of the total purchases made using vouchers from each school and donate that amount back to the school. Some restrictions apply — see all details are on our website.
• Raffle: Parents who shop with a vouch can participate in our raffle to win a $100 Fruit Center gift card! Just fill out your name, email, and phone number on your shopping voucher to enter. One winner will be selected from each store.

Thank you to the Fruit Center for supporting our schools!
