WELCOME BACK!
As we leave 2012 behind us I would like to take a moment to thank our volunteers for all their hard work during the first term. We held many successful events and services that would not have been possible without their support and participation. It is a pleasure to see the spirit of volunteerism at Collingwood.
Now that we are heading into 2013, we get to look forward to The Gala! We have missed this celebrated Collingwood event and I am so excited that it is just a few short months away. The Gala team has been working for months to bring you a night to remember. So please be sure to support their efforts by donating, sponsoring and/or attending on April 20th. Watch for more details on The Gala in the upcoming weeks. On behalf of Parents' Council, I wish you and your families all the best in 2013. Monica Clemiss Parents' Council Chair
