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. With generous donations towards our Annual Campaign and disbursements from the James L. Collins Trust Fund, tuition is kept at a reasonable rate and allows the opportunity for more families to choose a Catholic education for their children.

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
