VAN WAGNEN NEWS
It's A Great Day to be a Golden Eagle!
Hello,
I would like to thank all the staff, parents and students for welcoming me as the new principal of Columbia Upper Elementary. I love this school, and I feel very fortunate for the opportunity to get to know all of you and celebrate all the wonderful things that make CUES such a great place! For those who may not know me, I have been a high school science teacher within the Columbia School District for 13 years, and I am so excited to spread my wings and be a part of the CUES family!
Go Eagles!

VETERAN'S DAY
Columbia School District is proudly sponsoring a Veteran’s Day assembly on Friday, November 10th at 9:00 am. Students from both elementary schools will be transported by bus to the high school at 8:30 am. We would like to have as many Veterans as possible to attend this event to honor them and to teach our students about the importance of recognizing service to our country.
All Veterans should arrive at Columbia Central High School at 8:30 am for coffee and muffins. The assembly will include special music, a guest speaker, reading of the Veterans’ names and will last approximately one hour.
If at all possible, please wear uniforms or other service/patriotic clothing.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
