Dear Collins Families,

There is a saying... "Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder." That is a perfect reflection of what I have experienced during my time at Collins. Every day, I am moved and inspired by what I see. Every day, I marvel at the incredible devotion of our staff and their unique ability to teach and inspire our children. Every day, I celebrate the amazing support of our parents and community.

I believe that the success of our school is built on a foundation of mutual respect and inclusiveness. Every day, dedicated teachers and staff nurture a culture of fairness, love and caring, all focused on the goal of providing a safe learning environment for our students and families. Collins Elementary is committed to continuing this focus and supporting our families during the school day and beyond.

During this time of Thanksgiving, I want to share my gratitude and thank you for being such an important part of our children’s lives. This is a wonderful time of the year to get together with friends and family to celebrate and be thankful for all the wonderful people in our lives. On behalf of the Collins staff, I would like to thank you for your continued support and wish you all a safe and happy holiday.

With gratitude,

Mrs. Lenz
