Dear CES friends and families,

 

It has been a very exciting last full week of school. One of the recognitions that took place this week was when we were proud to celebrate Patient First for being recognized as a VSBA (Virginia School Board Associations) Honor Roll selected business partner. This Columbia ES business partner is 1 of only 3 businesses highlighted for this recognizition across the entire Fairfax County Schools division. Patient First specifically partnered closely with the CES PTA to support field trips, STEAM night events, and much more. We are thrilled to have joined in this recognition and look forward to seeing the partnership grow!

 

On Monday morning of next week, we look forward to celebrating our Kindergarteners at their promotion ceremony at 10:30am. On Tuesday, our 5th Graders will be promoted during the annual promotion ceremony beginning at 9:30am.

 

Finally, as a reminder, we will have a 2-hour early release on Wednesday of next week, the last day of school. Dismissal will begin at 2:05pm.

 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

 

Take care,

 

Mike Astudillo

Proud Principal

Columbia Elementary School
