Below are the approximate times students will be taking their club and group pictures on Thursday. Be sure to have your student check with their club and group sponsors for potential dress code requirements.

LAST DAY TO ORDER - THIS FRIDAY JAN 19 AT MIDNIGHT

Get your 2023-24 shirt or hoodie before they are gone for good!

All students will need a Collins shirt for their field trip this semester.

We have many items in the Lost and Found! Students have been given the opportunity to look for and pick up items during lunch. If you see something that belongs to you, please let your child know to pick it up in the cafeteria!

Unclaimed items will be donated.

Please use the calendars to help with club meeting days. Students can also find more information about clubs on the "In My Club Era" bulletin boards located in each main hallway by the cafeteria doors.

It's January and after a busy holiday season we are all ready to stay healthy and ready to learn! Unfortunately, it's also flu season! It is important to be vigilant about keeping our kids healthy during this time! Remind your child about the importance of handwashing before eating anything, after using the bathroom, and after sneezing/coughing. Handwashing is the number one defense against infection. The CDC expects an increase in seasonal flu between January and March every year. Check with your family doctor regarding information about flu vaccines.

Remember, to keep all our kids as healthy as possible, children must be fever free for 24 hours off of fever-reducing medication prior to returning to school.

Signs and Symptoms of Flu

People who have the flu often feel some or all of these signs and symptoms that usually start suddenly, not gradually:

• Fever* or feeling feverish/chills

• Cough

• Sore throat

• Runny or stuffy nose

• Muscle or body aches

• Headaches

• Fatigue (very tired)

• Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in young children than in adults.

*It’s important to note that not everyone with the flu will have a fever. (www.cdc.gov/flu)

In Mr. Hunt’s art class, we are beginning our sculpture unit. Students are learning about the main types of sculpture, creating an orthographic drawing and beginning to create a wearable sculpture out of paper mache.

In Mrs. Williams’ art class we are working with clay. Students are exploring how to use a variety of tools, practicing different techniques for working with clay and mapping out their designs for their final project.

Congrats to our Western Art winners! The pieces are currently in the library for students and staff to enjoy.

We are continuing to work on our basketball skills in PE! Next week, we will begin playing full games of basketball during class. We will begin our Fitness Gram testing the last week of January. Please remember your sneakers for the next Cobra Cardio Day which is January 24th.
