CCPS ACTIVITIES GUIDE • WINTER 2018

from Dr. Kamela Patton the parenting magazine devoted to collier county

P.O. Box 110656 Naples 34108 info@neafamily.com

Welcome to the 2018 Winter Activities Guide!

With the New Year upon us, our families are sure to start planning for 2019. What better way to begin than by referencing the CCPS 2018 Winter Activities Guide!

The CCPS Activities Guide began as a partnership between Collier County Public Schools and Neapolitan Family Publishing to provide the community with information related to activities outside of the school day. It is divided into categories such as academics, afterschool programs, the arts, clubs and organizations, community resources, special needs, sports, and support groups and counseling.

The goal is to be all-inclusive and provide businesses and organizations the opportunity to participate, free of charge.

If you have a business that you would like included in future editions, please visit the Neapolitan Family website at www.neafamily.com to complete the form submission or you may email info@neafamily.com for more information.

It is our hope that through this effort CCPS families can easily find the perfect activity for their children. Whether your child’s interests lie in sports, arts, or music, there are tons of options available.

I wish you all health and happiness in 2019!

Kamela Patton, Ph.D. Superintendent
