December Newsletter
MS/HS Communication
Message from Mrs. Fricke
During this time of year we would like to say thanks to:
- The parents and guardians for the support you give your child with their school work, the support you show to the school and for spending quality time with your child.
- Community members and parents who support our students and staff with treats, helping
at events or donating items for fundraisers.
- The teachers and support staff at Collins-Maxwell who are committed to giving their best
to our children every day.
- The Collins-Maxwell MS/HS students who are dedicated to their learning, involved in
activities outside of the school day and are respectful, kind people.
I am so proud of how much our community, students and staff give this time of year. Our NHS hosted a Thanksgiving meal drive and collected enough food to distribute 28 holiday meals. We have numerous giving projects currently being organized for the holiday season, which exhibits what an amazing, caring culture we have here at CM! We truly appreciate the support for those in need.
Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season. May you enjoy time spent with family and the memories made during this time of year.
Go Spartans!
Mrs. Lori Fricke, MS/HS Principal
