 | 👩🏽🍳 Celebrate Our Food Workers on Wednesday!
This Wednesday, September 25, is National Food Workers Day, and we want to make sure our amazing food service team feels the love from the Columbine Elementary community! These hardworking individuals make sure our students are well-fed and ready to learn each day. We encourage families to work with their children to show their gratitude—whether it's a drawing, a heartfelt note, or another small act of thankfulness. Let’s come together and make sure our food workers know how much we appreciate everything they do! |
|  | | PTA General Meeting Date Change
We’ve moved our General PTA Meeting to Monday, September 30, at 6:30 PM. This will remove a schedule conflict for parents, caregivers, and staff with the School Consolidation Regional Engagement Meeting for our school community. The PTA alignmed with Corey Jenks, Will Lee-Ashley, and the CSC team to ensure both meetings (PTA and CSC) will still be held on the same day.
Details: School Consolidation Regional Engagement Meeting: Wednesday, Sept. 25, 6-7 p.m. at Manual High School CSC Meeting: Monday: Sept. 30, 5-7:30 p.m. PTA General Meeting: Monday, Sept. 30, 6:30-7:30 p.m.
We encourage all school community members to attend both meetings. For more information on the School Consolidation Regional Engagement Meeting, including how to request interpreters and childcare, please find details and fill out the district’s form HERE.
Note: the PTA is not affliated with the School Consolidation meeting in any way. We look forward to seeing you on the 30th! |
