Our Art Club had a great first meeting! These students love getting together afterschool to be creative.
These girls were serving up points as they hosted their Serve-A-Thon. The 5th grade team made 188 serves over the net and our varsity team made 288. We are so proud of their hard work. Our fifth grade team will compete this weekend in a tournament at St. Monica on Saturday afternoon. Go Bears!
Our US Military History Club had an exciting time at their last meeting. Students had to work with their group to solve five puzzles in an escape room type challenge. Additionally, they solved military history trivia and discussed the importance of military history and veterans.

The James L. Collins Catholic School Annual Campaign makes it possible for us to continue our mission of developing the hearts and minds of our students.

Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health. Our Book Fair is happening online now. We will have an on campus Book Fair from September 16th until September 20th. Students can shop without cash thanks to Book Fair eWallet and teachers can use eWallet to build their classroom libraries. Parents, grandparents, and friends - you can donate online for your JLCCS child through the website below.
Additionally, we are also looking for some Book Fairies: these are individuals who can donate money to eWallet and allow students to buy books who might not have an opportunity otherwise.

Today we kicked off our first Little Flowers Girls' Club meeting. These girls had a great time learning about the virtue of zeal and then working together to make loom bracelets.
"Lay all your cares about the future trustingly in God’s hands, and let yourself be guided by the Lord just like a little child.”

Collins Catholic School has Lagomarsino visit and students read the story, "The Trial of Cardigan Jones,” by author Tim Egan. The story allows the Navarro County judge to bring his real world knowledge of our court system to life for these students. - Courtesy photo
Our library at JLCCS is named after Gioia Keeney. Keeney, a parishioner at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, was a pillar in the Corsicana community, and her leadership on our School Advisory Council and throughout our town provided incredible support for JLCCS. It was through her efforts that our school continued to develop and grow. Through her efforts, our library has a collection of over 10,000 items including books, reference materials, videotapes, DVD’s, and software.
Our preschool students love their learning centers!
Mr. Lagomarsino's fifth grade class were trained to be flag bearers and put up the United States of America and the State of Texas flag each school day. Special thanks to our two volunteers from Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for training them and we also appreciate the generosity of our donor who purchased these flags off our Amazon Wishlist! Thank you!
"There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.” — Thomas Aquinas
With our 12:1 student to teacher ratio, we are thankful that our students can develop strong friendships that will last long after they graduate.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the holy Spirit." - Romans 15:13
