Cougar News

Know any children who are ready for Pre-K or Kindergarten next year? Please make note of the dates to register! We can't wait to meet smiling new faces!

Pre-K Registration: Thursday, February 26

Kindergarten Registration: March 31-April 1

Please call the Madison County Board Office to make an appointment on these dates. 706-795-2191

In our school, we believe that every student’s story is a vital part of our community. To celebrate the diverse backgrounds, traditions, and histories that make our school unique, we are launching the "Heritage Shoebox"! Please see the attached file for more information.

This is a special take-home project designed for you to complete together. Our goal is for students to explore their heritage and bring a piece of their world into our school to share with their peers.

We will put these shoeboxes on display in the media center during the week of March 23-April 1. We will also taste new foods in the cafeteria during lunch that week. We can't wait!

Our spring picture day will be Monday, March 30. We will also have class pictures that day, so wear your best smile!

Spring is (almost) here and so is the Cougar Challenge! Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 9th at 8:30 AM when our PTO brings the energy with the 5K Cougar Challenge and 1 mile Cougar Crawl. Whether you're lightning fast or prefer a chill walk , we've got your pace covered—and every step goes straight to supporting Colbert Elementary.

The best part? You don't have to run to be part of the action. Cheer from the sidelines, volunteer to keep the Cougars fueled, or help as a business sponsor—there's a perfect role waiting for you.

Ready to jump in? Grab your running shoes (or walking shoes, no judgment ) and spread the word to your crew. Let's make this spring fundraiser one for the books!

Have a Cougar who you would like to spotlight for doing something extraordinary outside of school? We can't wait to see how our Cougars are shining outside these walls! You can send a Dojo Message to Mrs. Bird or email Mrs. Mullins: amullins@madison.k12.ga.us

Please put your child's name on all hoodies, jackets, coats, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc. Please check all new items your child received for Christmas and add their names to the items. We have over 400 students in the building, and we can easily return lost items to your child if their name is on it. When there is no name it is extremely difficult to get the item to the correct child.

Spring Break is April 6-10. We hope you enjoy this time with your family!
