Happy Friday Columbine Community,
We had such a wonderful week full of ambition and crew. Our crews engaged in learning about Native American Heritage Month, they celebrated and learned about Veteran’s Day, we had two incredible celebrations of learning, and we showed ambition through the power of yet! One more week until Fall Break!
🍂Thanksgiving Lunch🍂
We are so excited for our Columbine Community Thanksgiving Meal that will take place on November 16th from 11:00-1:00. Below is the schedule of when each grade level has their lunch block and families are welcome to join them. If you plan to join your student, please arrive at least 5 minutes early toTickets for the Thanksgiving Lunch can be purchased in the office in advance or the day of the event. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for any non-Columbine students.
Winter Is Coming
Although the weather is getting colder we will always prioritize going outside for recess when we are able. We also try to give an indoor/outdoor option for students when resources allow us to. Please be sure students are coming to school with coats/hats/gloves etc. and when the snow begins – boots are always a great gear addition!
Cocoa and Coats Event
November 18th after school the PTA will host a Cocoa and Coats event. This is a coat donation opportunity and all families are welcome to come and donate or take coats as they are needed for the winter season.
