We are incredibly proud to recognize Rory, one of our amazing 3rd graders, for her generosity and leadership. Through her own initiative, Rory collected items to support students in need across our district. This week, she donated everything she gathered to Bryant Bright Futures, an organization dedicated to helping students and families overcome barriers so they can succeed in school and in life.
Rory’s kindness and commitment to helping others truly reflect the heart of our Collegeville community. Thank you, Rory, for showing how one student can make a big impact. 💙✨

Collegeville is incredibly proud to celebrate our very own Ms. O’shaunda Johnson, who has been named Special Education Paraprofessional of the Year. If you haven’t had the joy of meeting “Miss O,” she serves students in our CBI classroom with unwavering dedication and heart.
She shows up every day ready to give her best, supports her coworkers without hesitation, and brings laughter and positivity wherever she goes. Our students adore her, and our staff knows they can always count on her to go above and beyond.
We are honored to call her part of the Collegeville family—and not at all surprised by this well‑deserved recognition. Congratulations, Miss O. We love you!

Our Destination Imagination team, the Womp. Womp. Wildcats, spent their Saturday in Hot Springs competing at the ARDI State Tournament!
This group has been preparing for this moment all school year. They planned and designed their own game‑show challenge—complete with original characters, a full script, and props built from recycled materials. Their set even included technical elements like a working pulley system and LED lights wired to turn on at the press of a button.
They walked away with a 3rd place win, and we couldn’t be more proud of the leadership, creativity, and teamwork they showed today.
A huge thank‑you to Mrs. Devyn Jones for the time, energy, and heart she poured into helping these students learn, grow, and compete.
Awesome job, Wildcats! 🐾💙
February was full of fun and learning in Mrs. Gillespie’s and Mrs. Poe’s classrooms! ❤️✨
Our kindergarteners in Mrs. Gillespie’s class packed the month with hands‑on activities, special celebrations, creative projects, and lots of joyful learning. Their excitement made every day feel like an adventure! 🌈📚
Meanwhile, Mrs. Poe’s 2nd graders wrapped up their math unit with games, teamwork, and big smiles. They worked hard, practiced new skills, and showed just how much they’ve grown as mathematicians. ➕➖🎉
We love seeing our students learn, play, and shine each day at Collegeville! 💙📘

The book vending machine is one of our favorite Collegeville traditions 📚✨ Each month, Mrs. Arroyo names a Reader of the Month for each classroom, and those special students earn a token for a brand‑new book from the machine! 🎉
During Read Across America Week, we also pulled reading tickets that awarded even more students a token! Some books had a bonus prize from Central Arkansas Inflatable that earned students a free visit to their indoor park! 🎟️📚 We want to extend a big thank you to them for helping us make this week more exciting!
Here are just a few of our recent winners!🌟 We're so proud of you Wildcats!

Friday we celebrated our Wildcats for showing Kindness in February! Dr. Harris from Bryant Middle School spoke to our students about kindness as a superpower we all carry—and how choosing it, even on tough days, can change someone’s whole world.
Our Read Across America celebrations have been a blast, too! From positive‑message shirts to going HOG Wild for reading, our students have been all in. Fifteen Wildcats have already earned books from our vending machine through their reading logs, Lexia growth, and being “caught reading.”
Tomorrow is “Bring Your Buddy” day—please make sure buddies fit inside backpacks. Thank you for helping us make this week so special!
