West Columbus School

🎉 Congratulations, 2nd Grade! 🎉
They were the first grade level to complete their i-Ready goal for the nine weeks! 🥳📚

Our second graders took their learning into their own hands as we explored precipitation—and even made their own snow! There were lots of smiles, curious questions, and plenty of excitement as science came alive before their eyes. Learning about weather has never been so cool! ❄️☁️🌨️

During the October Board meeting, the Board of Education recognized the entire Transportation Department for its outstanding achievement in state inspection scores. Columbus County transportation teams earned some of the best scores in this region of North Carolina. The Board also expressed appreciation for their hard work and dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of student transportation every day.

The Columbus County Fire Marshal’s Office, in conjunction with the Office of the State Fire Marshal, is proud to announce that we have received 1,000 smoke detectors donated by Kidde, one of the nation’s leading fire safety product manufacturers. These detectors will be distributed throughout the county in recognition of Fire Safety Month.

Each fire department within Columbus County has been supplied with an allotment of these smoke detectors for installation in homes across their respective districts.

We encourage all families throughout the county to take advantage of this free smoke detector check and installation program. This initiative ensures that every home has properly functioning and up-to-date smoke detectors. If any detectors are found to be outdated, missing, or not working, new ones will be installed free of charge.

Our 2nd Grade students have been learning all about the different types of weather — focusing on what happens when sunlight and rain work together… a rainbow! ✨
This week, our scientists had the chance to grow their own rainbow using paper towels, markers, and water! 💧🎨 It was the perfect way to see color mixing and science come to life!
