Monday, May 19th was career day at Collier. Our students got to listen and learn about many different career paths. They got to listen to restaurant owners, barbers, chefs, SAPD, SAFD, electricians, a Navy serviceman, fitness coaches, a DJ, a personal trainer and even a dog trainer. Our students enjoyed their morning and asked lots of great questions.
Thank you to all the professionals that came out to talk to our kids!!!! We appreciate your time and commitment.

The clock is ticking!

This week in the library our students are being treated to a "Book Tasting"! In order to introduce the children to over 200 new books that were added to its collection, our wonderful Librarian, Mrs. V. Cantu, turned the library into a restaurant where students are able to preview the books and write a short review about what they read. What a great way to get our students reading!!
