WALNUT, CA—Collegewood Elementary will mark its 50th birthday with two special events.

The award-winning school will host a kick off assembly on Friday, March 20 at 10:15 a.m., with time capsule dedication, special music, VIP speakers, aerial photo, and birthday cake.

Several past principals will be on hand to celebrate the golden birthday. Student council members will share fun facts about the school’s history, and the school choir and Walnut High Band Buddies will provide music.

Immediately following the ceremony, students and parents will be invited to enjoy a hotdog lunch on the playground.  

The 50th birthday celebration will continue this spring at the Collegewood Carnival scheduled on Saturday, May 16 from 3:30-7 p.m.  The 50’s-themed event will honor the school’s original alumni, feature a “hall of memories” with photos and fun trivia from the past 50 years, and offer commemorative t-shirts.

Community members and alumni are invited to attend both of these events!

Collegewood Elementary is located at 20725 Collegewood Drive in Walnut.  For more information, please contact the school at (909) 598-5308.
