On Wednesday of next week, we hope to see you and your family at our Family Learning Fair any time between 6pm - 7:30pm. There will be fun learning games and opportunities for all. Please see below for more information.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

CES Supports Annandale Food Pantry
On behalf of the Annandale High School Food Pantry, we want to thank you and the entire Columbia Elementary School family for the generous donations of food items during your November - December food drive. We set records for the number of families served by the AHS Pantry in November and December, and the food items received from the Columbia Elem collections helped ensure our shelves were well stocked.
The generosity of your Columbia Elem families in support of other families in our Annandale school district community was so inspiring. Thank you to all!!
