Columbia Central Weekly Bulletin
Week of October 30, 2022
We are happy to spearhead our weekly bulletin this weekend. The weekly bulletin will contain helpful information for the week, links to our school calendars, as well as important deadlines and reminders that will assist you in becoming more connected to our school programs.
Parent communication is an essential component of effective schools. Through our weekly bulletin, you will gain a better understanding of everything happening in our building, which will provide opportunities for you to participate in our school initiatives, extracurricular activities, and academic programs.
This past week we celebrated Red Ribbon Week through daily themes to serve as a reminder to stand up to drugs and bullying. Monday, October 31, will be our final day of our Red Ribbon Week celebrations. Our theme of the day is Pajama Day: Follow Your Dreams in Living Drug Free.
Columbia Central is a busy place! We look forward to continuing our very important partnership with you, each and every day at Columbia Central.
Sincerely,
Dr. Steve Carnes
