Weekly Message | Good morning! I hope everyone is having a great Labor Day Weekend with their family and friends! I have had a great weekend with my family, working on some of my outstanding chores, and serving patients through our Fire Department. One great experience for me this weekend was that I had the opportunity to catch up with my in-laws down along the Ohio River. I truly got blessed.... Another way I have been blessed is by your children. They continue to be a joy to have in our classrooms each day. We are heading into September with a lot to learn and many more experiences to have for their learning process. These are great days that we are living in! Below you will notice a format change that is meant to better organize your reading of our updates. I hope this is helpful and would be interested in your feedback. Please enjoy your weekly update below and thank you for allowing us to serve your children! Tiger Up! Matt | |||||

New Updates | Tiger Up Shirt Orders Due This Friday Be sure to order your Tiger Up Shirt below by this Friday for our Schoolwide Team Picture (on Monday Sept 18th). In this picture, all students and staff will be wearing their Tiger Up Shirts. In order to have it in time all orders must be in by this Friday. PTO Meeting-Tomorrow at 7pm Be sure to join us tomorrow night at 7pm in our library (Third Floor) for our September PTO Meeting. We have a great time together discussing how we can better support our all of our students. We hope to see you there! Mentor Lunch Last week we had the opportunity to meet with our mentees during lunch. It was great to spend time with our students in a different way. We are looking forward to more work together. This will be a monthly occurrence in addition to our Tiger Up subject focused discussions. Kenyon College Partnership and FAB Lab Visit to Columbia Elementary On Tuesday night, I received a phone call from Kenyon College stating that the FAB Lab that was traveling around town had the ability to stop by our school for a couple hours on Thursday morning to serve 20 of our students, if we wanted this opportunity. Since our school incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math into our curriculum, it would be an awesome opportunity for some of our students. We chose to have 20 of our 5th Graders to work in this Fab Lab (onsite). During this experience our students learned about the collaboration between computers, laser cutters, and 3-D Printers. They were all charged with making the best glider then competing with their peers. Some of you might have seen this same FAB Lab at First Friday. It was fantastic!!   K-3 Bus Safety Assembly On Friday, all of our Bus Drivers spent time with all of our students in KDG-3rd Grade discussing and demonstrating things that our students need to do to keep them safe on the school bus. This included watching the video below and practicing specific tasks on the school bus afterwards: Feel free to discuss this video and other details with your child over the dinner. | |||||
