Weekly Message | Good afternoon! I hope everyone is doing well! Last week we had many events take place at Columbia Elementary...I cannot tell you enough how appreciative we are of our MV Columbia Elementary Family: Your love continued to be exhibited through our Trick or Read night, Book Fair, Biztown, our Nine Weeks Awards Assemblies, and the support we received for one of our colleagues as they are going through a very difficult loss. We truly want you to know that we appreciate you and your continued support of the service we provide for your children. On another note, be sure that you have moved ALL of your clocks and watches back one hour. In addition, make sure you have changed your batteries in your smoke detectors. If you don't have smoke detectors in your home, now is the time to get them...This single act could be life saving to you and your family... Tiger Up! Matt #Keepingyourfamilysafe:) | |
Masterpieces in The Making |    | |
New Updates | JA Biztown-5th Graders I cannot express to you enough how proud we are of our students. On Tuesday, we saw our students in a different light. Our students conducted business as CEOs, CFOs, Salesworkers, Bankers, Construction Workers, and other important business professionals. It was a proud moment to see our students rise to the occasion and conduct business in a responsible manner. I really appreciated Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Justice, and Mr. and Mrs. Ing for making this possible for our students.    College Tuition Fundraiser For Columbia Elementary Students: CLICK HERE to learn more. The difference between this fundraisers and others is that it will support our students in the short and long term. In the short term, it will provide our Columbia Elementary PTO funds to provide for instructional needs for our students (i.e. upgrading technology). While in the long term it will provide them college tuition points to a variety of 380 different colleges.
