Hello Collicot Cardinals!


We have a busy few days ahead at Collicot, starting with our next PTO meeting TONIGHT, November 12!


Join us in the Collicot/Cunningham Cafeteria 6:30-7:30PM! 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!


Here are a couple of other ways to participate in and support our school community this week:


Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day | Tomorrow, 11/14

The Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day is an annual event that honors civil rights activist Ruby Bridges and sparks student-led conversations about anti-racism, bullying prevention, community unity, and equity. While rain is in the forecast, there are still plenty of ways to participate! Wear purple to show your support, and most importantly, help spread love and kindness!


Fruit Center Shopping Week | Thru 11/15

Just four more days to shop and support Collicot! Every purchase made with a Collicot voucher helps raise money for our school, so don't forget to bring yours along when you shop!


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. If you forget your vouches, no problem! Just let your cashier know you are shopping for Collicot!


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!

Honoring Veterans

Thank you to all the veterans who visited Collicot this week and to the many volunteers who helped make our Veterans Day celebration so special!


A special shout-out to our guest speaker, Brent Lane, and to Meghan Fogerty and Pat Hewett for organizing such a meaningful event!


We also want to thank everyone who generously donated gift cards and Halloween candy. We are grateful for the kindness and support of our Collicot community!

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.

Milton Holiday Gift Drive | November 30-December 4

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.
