St. Columba Catholic School - News every Friday - 11/20/20
I pray that you all have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving break! We all have so much to be thankful for, even during these challenging times!
I am thankful for our students, families, teachers, staff members, parishioners, alumni, and friends of our school! Together, we make our community great!
I would also like to thank you all for your support during these first 3 months of the school year. It has been a start of a school year unlike any other, but we are doing great!
As mentioned in the email I sent out previously, in order to for us to keep doing great, we must employ some restraint during this upcoming week. Please minimize your gatherings and if you do gather with people that are not from your household, please do so outdoors. Please limit travel, but if you do travel, please follow the 14 day quarantine or COVID testing expectations. If we can make it through January, I believe we will be in the clear for the rest of the year and the foreseeable future.
God bless each and every one of you and thank you for your presence in my life!
Blessings,
Mr. Amann
