News From Coach Baze
Colleyville Elementary's annual JDRF fundraising and Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes is under way! Each student will receive a donation envelope in their Friday Folder. We encourage the students to bring in their donations daily. Each classroom has a class graph to monitor the progress of donations collected. The CES walk will be held on Friday, April 22, 2016 during each grade level’s Specials time. We would encourage any parents, friends, or family members that have had a background check to come out and join us for the walk. Thank you for supporting JDRF and our students.
