Support Your ClassroomColumbia PTA has created a Teacher/ Staff Wishlist page for families wishing to support Columbia teachers and staff. With the district wide budget cuts, we recognize many classrooms are underfunded and in need of various supplies and materials.
We also have various staff appreciation events throughout the year. This list will help those who want to give something select items that match staff interest or classroom needs. Thank you for supporting Columbia teachers and staff! |

Food for Thought Pantry Stock-up!A few years ago, the PTA started a program at Columbia called, Food For Thought. This is a resource for teachers to draw from when they have students in need of a snack. It's difficult for hungry brains to learn! We'd like to start the year strong with a stocked pantry. If you are able to give, please drop off items at the school office and let them know it is for, "Food for Thought."
Below is a list of suggested items, but you may donate any items that are nutritious, individually packaged, do not require utensils, and not past their expiration date. Suggested items include: goldfish or other crackers, applesauce pouches, fruit snacks or fruit leather, and granola bars (nut free, please!). |
