Welcome to the 2023 Winter Activities Guide! Happy New Year to our CCPS Family! As you begin planning for 2024, I hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities available in the CCPS Activities Guide. The CCPS Activities Guide began as a partnership between Collier County Public Schools (CCPS) and Neapolitan Family to provide the community with information related to activities outside of the school day. For ease of use, the activities listed within the guide are divided into categories such as academics, after-school programs, the arts, clubs and organizations, community resources, special needs, sports, and more. It is my hope that this guide will serve as a resource to help parents easily find the perfect activities to meet the needs of their families. As you may have seen in recent months, CCPS is also developing a five-year strategic plan outlining the district’s major goals for school years 2024-25 through 2028-29. In our ongoing commitment to authentic engagement, Planning the Pathway has allowed YOU to provide direct input to the process through a series of questions. Stay up to date by visiting www.collierschools.com/strategicplan. Together, we will create a new strategic plan that will focus our work over the next five years. Your input is greatly appreciated! As I am out and about in the community, I look forward to seeing our students taking advantage of the activities available on the following pages. I wish you all health and happiness as we embark on the New Year! Dr. Leslie C. Ricciardelli Superintendent
