Principal's Message
Happy Friday Bobcat Families,
It was a busy and productive week back for our Bobcats! They came back pumped, ready to learn and grow!
Our 2nd - 5th grade students will participate in State Practice Testing next week for ELA and Math to prepare from for standardized testing in the Spring. Please ensure your student in on time, has a good night's rest, and a hearty breakfast so they can do their best work.
Thank you to some of the Dreher High School student athletes who surprised our students as they assisted with morning drop-off on Friday. It was a joy to watch and students loved meeting "the big kids."
Enjoy this wonderful weekend weather and we will see you back in Bobcat Country on Monday!

Overdue Library Books
Dear Parents/Guardians:
There are still quite a few books out from last school year and the 2019-2020 school year. I know these were very exceptional years, but please make every effort to locate and return those books to the library as soon as possible. Thank you for you help in maintaining our library collection of books!
Jessica Warren, Librarian
Water Stations
Please be informed that bottled water will no longer be available to students during the day. Our school is now equipped with water bottle refilling stations! Your student should pack a reusable water bottle daily for use at the refilling stations around the building.

Attention: YMCA Families
Good Afternoon AC Moore YMCA Families,
I hope this note finds you all well and you’ve had a great week.
I just wanted to pass along a quick note about YMCA pick-up on a weekly basis Tuesdays-Thursdays. When arriving to the school to pick up your child or children from the YMCA program can you all please park on the side of the road instead of the bus loop? There is after school tutoring (CRP) going on during these days and by parking in the bus loops it prohibits the busses from getting in the bus loop.
Thank you so much for your understanding and please let me know if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Matthew Taranto
Program Director
YMCA of Columbia
