Order your Valentine Smencilgrams Today!
Send a Valentine Smencilgram to a loved one! Parents and family members can send them to the students and students can send them to classmates, friends, teachers, and staff!
A Valentine Smencilgram is a scented pencil with your note attached.
Each Smencilgram costs $1, and you can order as many as you like! Just fill out the forms, enclosed with correct cash payment (tape or envelope) and turn into the PTA box in the office by Thursday, February 6. Sorry, no late orders, but early orders appreciated!
Extra forms can be downloaded here or picked up from the PTA table in the office. (Forms will go home with students on Friday, January 24.)
Valentine Smencilgrams will be delivered to students in their classroom on Valentine’s Day (February 14).
We have a sizeable amount of pencils, but they will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, so get your orders in early!
All proceeds will go toward the Collins Elementary PTA.
Approved Volunteers Needed!
Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 4, 2024! We will be hosting our annual Collins Walkathon.
We will need approved volunteers throughout the school day as well as after school.
