Columbia Football

Tuesday, 5-18 is our chance to vote yes to support our student-athletes-artists-kindergartners.  While this may not be a perfect year, with 47.4 positions being cut, we will still have Athletics, Arts, Music, Kindergarten, AP and Electives, plus Math, Science, Social Studies, English, and Phys Ed. The tax increase is 3.55%

Proposition # 5 will give back the Team Room for our Athletes and the Arts Space to the Art Groups.  With 73.4% state aid, the cost to us is minimal. 

Please vote for 3 board candidates that match your interests.

Thank you for helping the students in this difficult year.

Thank you to all the parents and families that helped make the Kick Off BBQ a success.  It was great to have so much help with the grilling, serving, pouring drinks, set up, clean up and sportswear.  Many hands make light work.  Thank you also for bringing all the great food!

The Football Program was pleased to have Cathy Graziano, the President of the Board of Education attend the BBQ.  It is the strong partnerships in the community that make this a great place for families.

Also, congratulations to the Coaches and the Players on making it through double sessions, we are ready to play ball.

The Columbia Football Bootser club will be hosting the Annual Kick Off BBQ, on Friday, August 28, at 6 pm.  The Football  Kickoff BBQ celebrates the end of double sessions.  This is a great time to get together with the football family and enjoy some food and fund.

The Booster club will provide the hotdogs and hamburgers, with the players from each grade level contributing to the dinner.  Seniors bring salads; Juniors bring drinks; sophomores bring chips; and freshman bring desserts.

We can use help setting up for the BBQ, cooking on the grill,  serving food and clean up.   All help is appreciated!
