February at Collegiate! Info. from Liane Pace

Happy 2014!

Snow, snow, snow!!  Wow!  It has already been an eventful 2014!  I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the new year and that you have happy Kindergartners back in school!  It is wonderful to see their growing maturity, as well as their academic and social transformation after the holiday break.  They are growing up very quickly and are hard at work preparing for the next school year - reading, writing, math, music, Spanish, science, art, PE, computer...the list continues!  I hope your children have enjoyed every bit of learning, getting to know their school and classmates, cheering on the Seahawks :), and are looking forward to the second semester.  In addition to all of the wonderful academic activities, we have some fun school-wide activities to look forward to…
