Homecoming & Fall Fair is almost here ... Norfolk Collegiate families and friends, With the start of another school year, we are thrilled to plan for our second annual Homecoming and Fall Fair. Last year’s weekend was one of celebration, achievement, camaraderie and spirit. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect and bond with our students, parents, faculty and staff. Please take a moment to learn more about all of the exciting events and opportunities at this year’s Homecoming and Fall Fair celebration. Consider supporting our first special event of the school year by becoming a sponsor or volunteering on the planning committee. Purchase your tickets for what is sure to be one of the best night’s of the school year ... the Oyster Roast & Taste of Collegiate. Your student(s) will wake up the next morning excited to participate in another fun-filled day at the Fall Fair. Whether working with their student organizations, competing on the field with their teammates, enjoying a delicious treat from the bake sale or creating a beautiful sand art memento, the halls, gyms, and fields are buzzing with energy. Please complete the order form included on the last page of this booklet and return to the Development Office by mail, fax, or email by Sept. 30, 2014.
