From The Principal
We all deserve sweet treats in this Summer Heat!
Are we melting yet? Where was this warmth in our Iceageddon?
Hope your summer is off to a wonderful start. The building is very quiet with just me at Collins - but there is lots of work and planning going on to prepare for the 2021-2022 school year.
We are excited to share the news that Collins has a new Assistant Principal!
Please help me welcome
Amanda Cucinotta!
Mrs. Cucinotta is a former Collins Cobra and a graduate of College Park High School (Awwww CP).
She has been an educator for 10 years and comes to Collins from Bradley Elementary.
She can't wait to meet our amazing Collins children and families.
We wish Mr. Barnhart all the best as he moves to Conroe High School to serve as an AP for the Conroe Tigers!
Wishing you a wonderful end to June. Another Collins Cadence will head your way in July with lots more information about the start up of the school year.
Wishing you all the best,
Shelli LeBlanc
