Due to the wet days we’ve had, we will be holding our Pumpkin Patch in the cafeteria tomorrow (10/15 from 11 to 2 pm). The front lawn is likely to be muddy.

Please enter the building through the cafeteria entrance (near the parking lot). The front doors will not be open.

See you tomorrow!

If you didn’t see Race to Nowhere when the Parenting Center screened it at Columbia High School last spring, there will be another opportunity to see it in our community on Wednesday, November 2nd at 7:30 pm.

This insightful documentary is a call to action for families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.
