Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. On this Patriot’s Day, we reflect on the bravery of first responders, the resilience of our communities, and the strength of our nation. We feel grateful for the strong partnerships we have with our local first responders and we will never forget the sacrifices made and the lives changed forever.


#StartWithHelloWeek is next week! To kick things off, Colegrove students and teachers created this “Be the “I” in KIND" mural to remind everyone that every individual plays an important role in creating and maintaining a kind and respectful school community. When we plant seeds of kindness today, we reap the benefits tomorrow!
