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!
