Collegeville Elementary School

We are so proud of five incredible students who showed growth on every single ATLAS Interim test this week! Their hard work, focus, and determination truly paid off. 📚✨

Each of these students received a Positive Office Referral, which meant they got to call home and share the exciting news with their families — one of our favorite traditions. They’ll also be featured on next week’s broadcast for their outstanding effort and achievement.

Please help us celebrate these shining examples of perseverance and progress. We are so proud of them! 💙📖🌟

More 100th Day of School fun with Mrs. Chism's class! 😹💯

Mrs. Watson's class has been busy growing and learning in wonderful ways. Students celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by exploring his big dreams for a better world and sharing their own. They also wrote about special friends who make our school family so strong.

☔️⛈️🌩️ The class also wrapped up their weather unit with creativity and excitement, learning how meteorologists predict the weather and creating their own silly forecasts to share.

We’re proud of the joy, curiosity, and kindness this class brings to Collegeville every day.

Discover what it means to be a successful Bryant Hornet! If you are an incoming 6th-12th grade student, this event is for you and your family.

Join us for Secondary Preview Night:

Our kindergarteners kicked off this week in the most Wildcat way — celebrating their 100th day of school with big smiles, big energy, and shirts decorated with 100 items they proudly created themselves. 💯

We’re so proud of all they’ve accomplished so far this year. Here’s to the next 80 days of fun and discovery at CES! 💙😻

Save the date!

Today Collegeville recognized students who consistently show Respect in their words, actions, and choices. We're so proud of the way our Wildcats lead by example and help make our school a kinder, more welcoming place.

Our staff also honored two incredible coworkers who model this trait every day.
✨ Mrs. Carter was recognized for the way she respects her colleagues’ time and autonomy, always supporting others with thoughtfulness and care.
✨ Mrs. Osborn was celebrated for treating every coworker, student, and parent with dignity, creating a positive and uplifting environment wherever she goes.

We were also excited to announce the winners of the Recycle Saline Recycled Art Contest. Congratulations to Natalie, Ellie, and Rylee for placing in the top three with their outstanding, creative projects made entirely from recycled materials. Thank you to all of our students and families who submitted entries — our halls have been brighter because of your work.

As part of National School Counselor’s Week, we celebrated Mrs. Crawford once again for being such an outstanding addition to our staff. She even led us in a round of “Finish the Lyrics” in honor of National Have Fun at Work Day — where we got to witness Mrs. Robson’s dance moves to Shake It Off and Miss Warner’s best Whitney Houston impression. It was the perfect way to end our assembly with joy and laughter.

We are grateful for our students, staff, and families who make Collegeville such a special place. 💛

It’s National School Counselor’s Week! 💜
And today we saw a great example of how ours shines!

This afternoon, our Club Unify team took on the Salem Tigers in a fun and spirited basketball game. Our fans — made up of enthusiastic 2nd and 4th graders — cheered for everyone on the court under Mrs. Crawford’s leadership. She reminded us that while the scoreboard may be running, what truly matters is having fun and making sure every student knows they did a great job. This is just one small moment of the impact Mrs. Crawford makes on a daily basis!

We also want to give a big shout‑out to Coach S for her leadership, support, and involvement. Her encouragement helped make today’s event such a success.

Thank you, Mrs. Crawford and Coach S, for creating joyful, inclusive experiences for our students. We appreciate and love you both! 💛💜

All bus routes - with the exception of Route 78 (Crystal Lake and Brown County Rd)— will return to normal drop off and pick up locations beginning this afternoon (Wednesday, Feb 4).

Bryant Schools will be closed on Monday, February 2. This afternoon, our administrators traveled roads throughout the district, and due to continued hazardous conditions, schools will remain closed.

Our Maintenance Team has been working diligently to prepare campuses for a safe return. If temperatures on Monday allow for additional melting, it is our hope to resume a normal school day on Tuesday. However, families should be prepared for the possibility of a two-hour delayed start, depending on road conditions.

Please note that some bus routes may require alternate pickup and drop-off locations. Continue to monitor our official communication channels for updates.

We miss our students and look forward to welcoming them back as soon as it is safe to do so. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Students took on an exciting STEM challenge in GT by designing and building their own water filter. They learned that when a wildfire devastates a forest, the surrounding drinking water sources can become polluted with ash, debris, and soil runoff. It can take months to recover. Students explored how communities might respond to these challenges.

The activity helped them see not only the science behind filtration, but also the real-world economic and environmental impacts natural disasters have on essential resources like clean water.
