Congratulations to Myka G. She was the lucky attendance winner from first term. We had 144 students with no tardies or absences and she was randomly selected from that group for the grand prize. Keep up the good attendance, Voyagers!

Attendance Matters at Columbia Elementary!
When a student misses just two days of school a month, they will miss...
20 days a year, 30 hours of math a year, 60 hours of reading a year, close to a year of school by 12th grade graduation.
It's important to come to school! Try to have your student to school every day!
Way to LEAD, Voyagers! Look who's leading with Recess Voyager Points this week.
