Hello Collicot Cardinals! Here are a few reminders for this week:

Fruit Center Shopping Week | November 9-15

Over the past 16 years, the Fruit Center has generously donated more than $210,000 to schools in Milton and Hingham through this program!

Here’s how it works: Simply present a Collicot shopping voucher when you shop at the Fruit Center this week. You can use your voucher as many times as you'd like throughout the week! Vouchers have also been printed on blue paper and sent home in students' backpacks.

At the end of the week, the Fruit Center will donate 20% of all purchases made using Collicot vouchers back to our school. Thank you to the Fruit Center for its continued generosity and support of our schools!

Veterans Day Assembly | Tomorrow, November 10

Collicot will host our annual Veterans Day Assembly tomorrow!

As part of this special day, we are collecting gift cards to donate to local veterans. If you would like to participate, please send in $25 gift cards to Stop & Shop, Market Basket, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, or Target.

If you prefer to contribute through Venmo, Meghan Fogerty will be collecting donations:

• Venmo: @Meghan-McMahon-9
• Last four digits: 1995

We are also collecting leftover Halloween candy for donation to the VA Hospital. Collection baskets are available at the school's front entrance.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed and helped make this assembly special!

PTO Meeting: November 12 | 6:30-7:30pm

Join us in the Collicot/Cunningham Cafeteria for our next PTO meeting!

This is a great opportunity to hear updates from Principal Concannon, learn more about what's happening at Collicot, and find out how you can get involved in our school community.

All are welcome, whether you're a regular attendee or joining us for the first time!

Free babysitting will be provided. We hope to see you there!

Collicot Thanksgiving Food Drive | November 16-20

In keeping with the spirit of Thanksgiving, Collicot will be coordinating a food

drive for the Milton Food Pantry. Thanks to the school's generosity in the past,

Collicot has been able to provide food for over 30 families to enjoy a hearty

Thanksgiving meal.

The food pantry is requesting the following donations that we've broken down by grade:

• Kindergarten: Canned peas
• 1st Grade: Canned fruit salad or fruit cocktail
• 2nd Grade: Canned corn
• 3rd Grade: Cake mix and one tub of frosting
• 4th Grade: Canned turkey or chicken gravy (no glass, please)
• 5th Grade: Canned cranberry sauce and stuffing mix

We will collect items for 1 WEEK- beginning Monday, November 16 through Friday, November 20th. This year we will be partnering with the Fifth Grade Student Council to help sort and pack Thanksgiving meals for our neighbors in need.

French Book Fair | November 17 and 18

French Immersion students will go to the French Book Fair with their class on Tuesday, 11/17. Additionally, the book fair will be open during conferences (11/18) so families may purchase books at that time as well. It will be located outside the first-grade classrooms.  

Would you like to volunteer on 11/17 while your student's class is visiting the fair? Sign-up HERE.

So Many Thank Yous!

The Lantern Walk was a huge success! We are so grateful to all of our wonderful volunteers, with a special shout-out to Kate Bruno for coordinating such a fantastic event!

Whether you're honoring our veterans, shopping to support our school, or helping put a Thanksgiving meal on a neighbor's table, your kindness and generosity make a difference. We are lucky to be part of such a caring and supportive Collicot community!
