Welcome From Principal Deb Powell
I am
excited to welcome back our students, families, and staff
for the 2011-2012 school year and proud to introduce our new
school, Columbia Elementary! The building is cleaned and
polished, and classes will be held in every room in the
building. Our custodians and volunteers, led by transition
coordinator, Mr. Greg Meschke, have done a wonderful job
moving teachers and preparing the rooms for the fall. All of
the CES teachers have also been busy during the summer
making preparations for the new school year.
I am
planning and anticipating a year filled with challenge,
learning, and excitement. The staff and I are very excited
that you have entrusted your childs education to us. We
will make every effort to help your child achieve
academically and socially this year. It is our goal to
create an enriching learning environment that engages each
and every student. Of course, as the first teachers in your
childs life we need your support. Columbia Elementary has
an excellent teaching staff with a wealth of knowledge. We
also have an excellent support staff that work in different
capacities to support your childs learning.
I encourage
you to become active in our PTO this year. They have been
working collaboratively since spring to provide numerous
support programs to Columbia Elementary. In addition, one of
the primary goals of the CES PTO is to promote community
spirit. This happens by organizing fun events throughout the
year, supporting teachers and staff, fundraising, helping
support academic programs and promoting other important
events. The CES PTO welcomes every parent to become involved
and make difference at CES!
Finally, if your child needs
additional support or if you have a concern please dont
hesitate to contact their teacher or me. It is our mission
to support your child in whatever way we can. Columbia
Elementary is fortunate to have resources to support
students and their families. Remember Working together
makes a difference in the lives of our students. Welcome to
Columbia Elementary and to a great school year!
Deb Powell, Principal
