Collegeville Elementary School

🍎😻 ✨💃

🎵📚🖍️😻

Day 2 of Teacher Appreciation Week ✨
We're starting off by celebrating our incredible 1st and 4th grade teams , and a few dynamic duos who make every day here brighter. 🍎😊

With the generosity of our community partners at McCauley Services, our Kindergarten students observed the stages of the butterfly's life cycle right in their classrooms!

They were able to experience the amazing transformation as the caterpillars completely changed their bodies. Sharing their classrooms with living things made the eyes of our young learners light up each morning, as they discovered the magic of metamorphosis! 🐛🦋

🧙‍♂️✨🍎📚🐾

Thanks to a generous donation from Arvest Bank, Bryant Public Schools will have inclusive communication boards on every elementary playground—plus our Pre-K campus!

These boards give students a voice during play, helping them express needs, build friendships, and be part of the moment. As a Special Olympics Unified School District, we’re proud to create spaces where every child feels included and valued.

With Arvest Bank’s investment, Bryant’s playgrounds will be more than just places to play—they will be places where every voice can be heard. Learn more >>> https://bit.ly/4w5XnzQ.
