Good afternoon!
I hope everyone had an awesome weekend with your family and friends! Please pardon my tardiness with our weekly blog as I was at a training all weekend on Google Applications for Education. It was great learn about some many more resources that can ultimately benefit our students and teachers.
Please enjoy our weekly updates below:
Tiger Up Time-ATOD:
Last week, we really enjoyed our Tiger Up Time with our students as we discussed the dangers of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs in our Mentor Groups. In these same conversations, we also discussed both positive and negative peer pressures that they may face in their lifetime. Following our mentor group time, we enjoyed the company of Mr. Devin Thomas. During this time, Mr. Thomas was both entertaining and informative. He did a terrific job with our students.

Sponsors Needed: Ariel Foundation & Columbia Elementary Annual 5K Run and 1 Mile Fun Run:
The Columbia Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is excited to announce that we are partnering again this year with The Ariel Foundation to sponsor our annual 5K Run/Walk and One Mile Fun Run. This year’s goal for Columbia Elementary is to continue raising dollars towards renovating our playground for our students and community. In over 20 years, we have not updated the existing playground equipment on most of our playground. As Columbia Elementary has been a community hub since 1958, and now we are recently connected to The Ariel Foundation Park and Bike trail, we need to better serve our students, Mount Vernon Community, and visitors of The Ariel Foundation Park. It is well know that there is no other playground in the community near Columbus Road (including at Ariel Foundation Park) where playground equipment is available for children to play with their parents. It has always been the philosophy of Columbia Elementary to allow the community to use our playground facilities after school hours and on the weekends. With a renovated community playground and learning outdoor pavilion at Columbia Elementary, we would not only be better able to improve our students’ health and wellness, but we would also be able to have a positive impact on engaging the families in our community. The approximate cost of this project will be $75,000.
Our 5K Run/ Walk and One Mile Fun Run is scheduled to take place at Ariel Foundation Park on Friday, May 19, 2017. Additional details will be forthcoming. We are working to obtain sponsorships for the event. There are four different levels of sponsorships: a) $750 b) $500 c) $250 d)Any other amount. To show our appreciation, we will advertise companies that donate $750, $500, or $250 on the 5K/Fun Run t-shirts that our participants will receive. All sponsors should submit payment to The Columbia PTO by April 14, 2017. The payment can be mailed to the school address listed above. Since all donations are tax deductible, we will provide documentation of your donation. If you have any questions or would like to be a sponsor, please feel free to contact Matthew Dill, 740-393-5975 or mdill@mvcsd.us. We truly appreciate your sponsorship and support of this event, and we are hopeful you will join us in this community endeavor.
