📚 Dollar Tree Distribution - for providing school supplies for our teachers!

🎓 UCM Early Childhood Education Department - for providing meaningful and engaging professional development opportunities for our teachers! We appreciate your partnership and investment in our staff.

🍕 Papa Murphy’s, Papa Johns & Domino’s - for providing FREE pizzas for our staff on the first night of school so they didn’t have to worry about cooking after a busy first day! What a treat!

What a way to make a livin’ 🎶

Our Morris Collins staff has definitely been putting in the WORK! From moving into an empty building, creating welcoming classrooms for our students, and all the in between…

We’re so thankful for this incredible team and all they do behind the scenes! ❤️

’Twas the morning of the first day of school…

The halls were quiet, the doors were wide,
with excitement and butterflies tucked inside.

Then in came our preschoolers, one by one,
With smiles, laughter, and a whole lot of FUN! 🤩

From exploring new classrooms to making new friends, our first day at Morris Collins ECC was the perfect beginning to a wonderful year! ✏️🍎

Happy first day of school, Little Tigers! 🐯
