LET’S LEVEL , OAKS! GUIDE

OCT. 18 & 19

Dear Norfolk Collegiate Community,

We are thrilled to invite you to join us on Oct. 18 and 19 for Homecoming Weekend. From the Friday night Oyster Roast to Saturday’s Fall Fair, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy! Our fundraising events such as these offer a wonderful opportunity for families and community members to come together, have fun, and make a positive impact on Collegiate. By participating, you are directly contributing to the success and enrichment of our school. Funds raised through sponsorship and ticket sales will be used to support the Collegiate experience. Projects like the new Innovation Hub were made possible through fundraising events last year, and we can’t wait to see what our students accomplish in this new space. Your involvement not only benefits our school but also strengthens our community connections.

We encourage you to bring your family, friends and neighbors to join in the festivities throughout the year. Together, we can make a significant difference for our students and create memories to last a lifetime.

Thank you for your continued support. On the back of the brochure, you will also see the new dates for Day of Giving and the Annual Auction. These dates have been moved from our original important dates to allow the school more time to engage our community throughout the year. We encourage you to save these dates on your calendars, and we look forward to another great year supporting our Oaks!

• Offer an activity, a game at Fall Fair or sell baked goods (or a pre-made one) and the proceeds will go to your club or organization of choice! Activities can range from face painting, paint-a-pumpkin, sell donuts, temporary tattoos and so more!
