Dear CES friends and families:

 

It certainly is hard to believe that we have only one more week to go until summer break! We are so proud of all the accomplishments and achievements our students have made this year. Thank you for your continued partnership at home!

 

Earlier this week we were treated to a tremendous musical performance by our Band, Strings, and Choir programs. Thank you Mr. Nakamura, Ms. Volcansek, and Mrs. Eggleton for all your hard work in preparing such a wonderful program. Our students did an outstanding job performing!

 

On Wednesday, we celebrated Annandale High School graduates who once walked the halls as Columbia Elementary school students. Our current Columbia Cougars were so excited to join in celebrating this accomplishment while visualizing their own future!

 

Next week, we will have four full days of school and then on Friday we will have a 2-hour early release. Dismissal will be at 2:05pm on the last day of school.

 

As a reminder, this upcoming week the Kindergarten promotion ceremony will be in the GYM on Wednesday morning at 10:30am and the 5th Grade promotion ceremony will be in the Cafeteria on Thursday at 9:30am.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

Take care,

 

Mike Astudillo

Proud Principal

Columbia Elementary School
