The OG, Original Guru, of AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMMING! 🎉🔥

Hair always FLY, deadlines never missed, and if it’s about those kids… just know they’re learning, growing, AND being loved on every single day 💛📚✨

You set the standard, you keep the bar high, and you make it all look effortless!

Happy Birthday, Ms. Sycreeda!!! 🥳🎂 Keep shining, keep leading, and keep pouring into our babies the way only YOU can! 💫

🎉💃🏽 Happy (Belated but Never Missed!) Birthday, Ms. Marissa! 💃🏽🎉

We may have missed the exact day, but there was NO way we were going to let the week end without celebrating the one and only Ms. Marissa! 🥳✨

Our incredible Family Engagement Specialist who truly doesn’t miss a beat—because she’s too busy dancing to it! 🎶💃🏽 Whether it’s lifting spirits, bringing joy, or reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously, you bring a rhythm and energy that keeps us all moving in the best way possible.

But make no mistake—while you keep the vibes fun and light, you are fierce and focused when it comes to our families, always showing up with heart, purpose, and dedication. That balance is a gift, and we are so lucky to have YOU! ❤️

Here’s to more laughter, more dancing, more impact, and more unforgettable moments this year. We celebrate you today and always! 🎂🎈

Happy Birthday, Ms. Marissa—you are truly one of a kind! 💫

✨📚 Collins Elementary CIA Spelling Bee Stars! 🐝✨

Today our scholars showed up and showed OUT at the Collins Elementary CIA Spelling Bee! From confidence on the mic to determination in every round, these students proved that hard work, practice, and a love for learning truly shine bright. 🌟

We are so proud of each participant for stepping up, taking risks, and representing what it means to be a Collins STAR! 💛 Keep reaching, spelling, and believing in yourselves—this is just the beginning!

Energy Day ‘26 is coming and CIA will be there!!!

Happy Birthday to a true gem, Ms. Chiquita! 🎉✨

Today we celebrate not just another year, but the incredible light, love, and energy you bring into every space you enter. Your dedication, passion, and unwavering spirit make such a difference in the lives of everyone around you. Whether you’re uplifting others, showing up with excellence, or simply being your amazing self, you leave a lasting impact.

May this year bring you endless joy, well-deserved blessings, and all the happiness your heart can hold. Keep shining, keep inspiring, and keep being the phenomenal woman we all appreciate and admire! 💐💛

Just when you think they’re not paying attention… just when you start to question yourself… you walk back into work and this happens.

The student notes will have you busting out laughing and wiping your tears at the same time. 😂😭💛

Ms. Bryant missed National Afterschool Professional Appreciation Week — but when she walked back through those doors, Collins Elementary made sure she felt every bit of the love she deserves. Because one week could never contain what she means to this building.

This is just ONE site of many where our CIA Afterschool programs are adding real value to our students — beyond the school bell, beyond the classroom, beyond what you can measure. 🌟

We see you, Ms. Bryant. We appreciate you. And clearly… so do the kids. 💛

Learning + movement = the perfect combo! 🎳📚

At ABL Academy at Best Elementary, our students are having a blast while staying active and strengthening their academic skills. From knocking down pins to solving problems, every activity is designed to keep minds engaged and bodies moving!

This is what it looks like when fun meets purpose—students collaborating, thinking, and growing all at the same time. 💡✨

We love seeing our learners excited, confident, and thriving in every way!
