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!
