Columbia Central Weekly Bulletin

I hope you all had a great Mother's Day!

We just finished a busy week with much of it filled with luncheons and snacks in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. You can see some of the activities captured below. We thank the Board of Education for their generosity in providing ice cream snacks on Wednesday and our District administrators for organizing the taco luncheon on Friday. Special thanks to 7th grade teacher Hailey Pickrum for collaborating with our Student Council in proving snacks for staff and creating the beautiful banner that was hung in the main entrance of the building.

Please check out events happening the rest of the week. Let's make it a great week at Columbia!
