Collegeville Elementary School

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:
📅 Thursday, February 12, 2026
⏰ 5:30–7:00 PM
📍 BHS Love Auditorium (located in the Fine Arts Center, Bryant High School Campus)

You’ll learn all about academics, graduation requirements, and the many opportunities available to our students. After a brief presentation, teachers will be available to talk one-on-one about their courses and programs, and our counselors will be ready to help with scheduling questions and next steps.

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! 💛💜

Our district e-newsletter, Success Happens Here, is one way we share important information with our parents and community members. Please visit one of the links below for the February 2026 edition:

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.

Hornet families, due to continued icy conditions on many back roads and in neighborhoods, Bryant Public Schools will be closed Friday, January 30.

This closure uses our final built-in snow day. Any additional missed days will be added to the end of the school year per the district calendar, so please keep this in mind when planning trips.

Thank you to our maintenance team and district staff for their hard work in preparing our campuses for a safe return, and thank you, Hornet families, for your patience and support as we keep safety our top priority.

Hornet Mini Dance Clinic Update!

The Hornet Mini Dance Clinic for PreK–5th grade students has been rescheduled to February 7; the performance will still take place on February 10!

There’s still time to sign up — don’t miss out! ➔ https://bit.ly/45vplto

📚✨ Kindergarten Moments from Mrs. Robson’s Class! ✨📚

🧠 Students rotated through literacy centers, building foundational skills through hands-on activities and joyful learning.
📖 They also practiced partner reading, supporting each other and growing as confident readers.
🌟 And a special shout-out to Evelyn, who earned a Positive Office Referral for showing initiative and kindness — she noticed pillows left out after centers and put them away without being asked. What a thoughtful leader! 💜

Bryant Public Schools will be closed on Thursday, January 29. While some main roads have improved, many secondary roads throughout our district remain unsafe for travel by both cars and buses.

Thank you to our parents and families for your patience and understanding as we continue to assess and monitor conditions each day. Please continue to watch for updates through our official communication channels.

We’ve had even more of our Fall Fest auction experiences happening lately, and the smiles have been priceless.

🎤 Sheppard cashed in his prize and rocked Karaoke with Kindergarten — the cutest concert you’ve ever seen with the funnest group of teachers!

🌮 Anabela enjoyed Tacos 4 Life with Mrs. Crawford, complete with good food, good conversation, and lots of laughs.

We love seeing these special moments come to life. More to come as our winners enjoy their adventures! 💜

Hurricane Creek & Collegeville Elementary GT students found a creative way to make a difference right here at home. After making blankets for sled dogs racing in Alaska’s Iditarod, students donated their extra blankets (plus toys!) to the Bryant Animal Shelter 🐾
A small project with a big impact — that’s what it means to be Bold. Brave. Bryant.
