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 If any detectors are found to be outdated, missing, or not working, new ones will be installed free of charge.

We had some sweet visitors to share their Hispanic Heritage with us. Ms. Flo told us all about Guatemala and their traditions and Mrs. Rosa told us all about Mexico and their traditions. It was a wonderful experience. We also tried street corn. 🌽 🧡💛💚❤️

We are honoring Hispanic Heritage Month. During library sessions with Ms. Worley at WTS, Kindergarten students enjoyed the book "All Around Us" by Adrian Garcia. They created their own quilts depicting the things they cherish in their families and lives. In 1st and 2nd Grade, students listened to "Pepe and the Parade" by Tracey Kyle, creating floats that symbolize their families and interests. Meanwhile, in 3rd and 4th Grade, students engaged with "How Alma Got Her Name" by Juan Martinez, sharing their favorite aspects of their names and the reasons behind them.








Today in Mrs Smith 5th grade science at WTS, students created a carbon dioxide filled balloon by combining baking soda and vinegar. Students were tasked with looking for clues to decide if the reaction was a chemical or physical change.
