First day of school at JLCCS!
Meet the Teacher Night at JLCCs!
We are excited to have all of our teachers back on campus as we prepare for a wonderful school year! We are also blessed to have our teachers lounge filled with such great treats during training. JLCCS is our happy place!
Special thanks to everyone who came out today for our volleyball summer camp! We are looking forward to having two teams this coming year. We also appreciate Coach DePugh and Coach Bradshaw for hosting these opportunities for our students. Also thanks to JLCCS alumnus, Alexis, for coming out to help!
JLCCS Parents - As we get closer to our school year beginning, consider being a sponsor for one of our afterschool club. Each club must have two advisors. Clubs can meet weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Our clubs meet from 3:30pm to 4:30pm Monday through Friday. We have been blessed by the talents of our parents and have been able to offer a variety of clubs throughout the year including Military History, Pokemon, Star Wars, Chess, Cheer Club, Blue Knights Boys Club, Harry Potter Club, Flag Football, Garden Club, and more.
Another fantastic day at our Little Flower Girls' retreat. The girls made mosaics of the dancing sun, continued their cross stitching, made necklaces, and learned about Fatima.
We had a wonderful time on the first day of our Little Flower Girls’ Club summer retreat! The girls created prayer journals, learned to cross stitch, attended Mass, and focused on using their gifts to serve the Lord.
Meet the Teacher Night will be August 5th at 6pm! We cannot wait to see all of our families back on campus.
We are looking for coaches for the upcoming school year. This past year we had volleyball, cross country, track, futsal, basketball, swimming, golf, and tennis. We hope to have even more teams this coming year.
These students are having a blast in their GT (gifted & talented) class. During their meeting times, these student demonstrate self-directed learning, thinking, research, and communication skills.
Special thanks to Coach DePugh and Coach Bradshaw for hosting summer volleyball skills for our incoming 5th through 8th grade students on Wednesdays. We appreciate your dedication to our students.
Our school community gets to come together in so many ways. We love our regular pep rallies that we host to support our athletic teams. Our cheer club does an outstanding job performing dances, cheering, and raising school spirit. Additionally, we love to recognize each student athlete and coach. One more part of our pep rally is the fun competition or game that our classes participate in. We have built snowmen, played human hungry hippo, musical chairs, and more. In May, we had a tricycle race and even Mrs. Alvarado competed.
"Instruct the wise, and they become still wiser; teach the just, and they advance in learning. The beginning of wisdom is fear of the LORD, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." - Proverbs 9:9-10
At our last Little Flowers Girls' Club in May, these girls put together their scrapbooks for the year. Throughout each month as they work on learning about a new virtue and receive a flower petal patch for that virtue, they also make a scrapbook page. The page has information about that virtue with pictures, quotes, and Bible verses. At the end of the year, these girls had fun putting it all together as a keepsake. Additionally, the girls themselves took photos at this meeting and we are posting their photos.
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God." -Colossians 3:16
Preschool water and bubble day! These kids enjoyed water balloons, bubbles, and more.
We are blessed to have so many amazing advisors, coaches, room parents, and volunteers to work with our students and support our school. Thank you for the time, talents, and treasures that you pour into our school. You are truly a gift to our school.
Happy 4th of July from James L. Collins Catholic School!
We are thrilled to have Miss Huerta on campus again this coming year. Miss Huerta has been a preschool aide, substitute teacher, and YMCA Aftercare assistant at JLCCS. She is also a JLCCS alum! We look forward to having her on campus to work with our littlest learners.
We are blessed to have Mr. Arnold back on staff this coming year as our STEM SmartLab & IT Coordinator. Mr. Arnold just got back in town from the Annual STEM SmartLab conference and he cannot wait to implement all that he has learned into our classes. Mr. Arnold has been coordinating our technology on campus this past year and has also been a coach for our basketball and golf teams.
