Happy Tuesday!

🚗 Car Line Changes 🚙
‼️ Start on 1/7/25 ‼️
If you did not receive a car tag yet, don't worry, yours is probably going home Tuesday.
If your student is picked up in a group, the oldest student takes the tags home.
Two copies were sent home with a paper copy of this facebook post. If your family needs more tags, please email Mrs. Hern at whitneyhern@columbus.k12.nc.us (Include the student(s) and grade level(s).
Staff members can still manually type in your student(s) name(s) on Tuesday.
Starting on Wednesday, anyone without a car tag will be asked to come inside to verify their identity.

Our 8th graders are getting a head start on meeting the Healthful Living Essential Standards for high school graduation by learning CPR! Thanks to Mr. Gore's expert instruction, they are gaining valuable life-saving skills that could make a difference in an emergency. This important training prepares them not only for graduation but also for real-world situations. Way to go, 8th graders!

🎶 Exciting News! 🎹 Mrs. Kinlaw's Elementary Music Class has been selected as a recipient of the Bright Ideas Grant, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! Thanks to this generous funding, we have been able to purchase a Yamaha Keyboard Lab that will enhance our students' musical learning experience.
