Columbia Central Weekly Bulletin
WEEK OF NOVEMBER 13, 2022
As you know, our Parent / Teacher conference take place Monday (11/21) and Tuesday (11/22) next week. This presents an opportunity for you to connect with our staff and learn more about your child's overall progress. The school year is already a third over, so please take a moment , if you haven't done so already, to pick a session through Sign Up Genius. If you need to meet with me as well, just shoot me an email.
Special thanks to Assistant Principal Tom Aguirre and Band Teacher, Larkin Kinsella for spearheading our Veterans Day Celebration this past Friday. We recognized over 25 of our families that served in the Armed Forces. We had students read stories and poems in front of a packed house. Below you will see a few pictures of our veteran families featured at the breakfast.
Have a great week!
Dr. Steve Carnes
