As Thanksgiving approaches the Collins FRC wants to help ensure some of our Collins family can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. Thanks to our generous community partners, we have a limited number of meals available for PK–5th grade families at Collins Elementary.
Meals will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. Depending on your family’s sponsor, you will be asked to pick up your meal either at Collins Elementary or Crossroads Church during the designated time.
If your family would like to request a Thanksgiving meal, please complete the short Google Form below to reserve your spot.

ATTENTION CAR RIDERS!
If you will be dropping off and picking up your child every day please take a look at our new traffic route. You will need to enter from Spruce Drive and will exit onto Manderlay Drive. If you enter from Manderlay Drive it will be a right turn only so you will have to loop around to the end of the line. The most efficient way is to enter from Spruce Drive. This will be the traffic route during arrival and dismissal times. This will help ensure a smooth process for drop off and pick up and help to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families. Thank you!
Please welcome our new Assistant Principal, Lisa Darner!
