October23, Kick Off Red Ribbon Week: Columbia Leaders’ “Say No to Drugs!” Wear All Red.
We will be having our PTO meeting on Monday, the 23rd at 5:30pm to go over the new Stop-it Application that is going to be available on November 1st. This is a new app for parents to help report concerns about students or threats they may have heard. If you want to know more and information on this school year please plan on attending the zoom.

Join us families for Columbia's Trunk or Treat on Friday, October 27th from 6:00-7:30 at Vista Middle School. It's going to be a lot of fun! Also, if you can, please send your candy donations as soon as possible.
Our 2023 Jog-a-thon is now live and online! If you want to donate to a specific student, just type in their name and choose their class. Otherwise you can just make direct donations to all of Columbia.
All students should have come home today with a packet for collecting both online and cash donations. Every student has their own QR code to the website to credit them with the donations. This should make collecting money a breeze.
All cash donations are due November 1st on Jog-a-thon day and online donations are open until November 9th.
