Reminder: Teacher & Staff Birthday Collection
We are excited to continue our annual Teacher & Staff Birthday Collection. Last year with the generous support of our St. Columba Families, we collected over $3,000, allowing each teacher and staff member to receive a $100 cash gift on their birthday. So far, we’ve collected $950 this year. This collection ensures that the entire staff is celebrated equally from Preschool through 8th grade as it takes a village to run the School. Giving to the fund is completely voluntary. For the collection to be successful this year, all donations need to be made by Thursday, October 31st .
We hope you will support this meaningful PA initiative by contributing below.
Contribute to the Birthday Fund
St. Columba School Moms’ Hygge evening brought together a group of moms, whose kids span from preschool to 8th grade. Candlelight, charcuterie, chili, and comfy clothes. It was a wonderful night of laughter and connection with new and old friends. This special evening was one of the experiences available for sign-up during last year’s spring auction, and is a beautiful reminder of the joy found in community and simple moments together.
Used Sneakers Wanted
The 7th grade is participating in a recycling fundraiser this year and we would love your help. We have signed up to recycle sneakers with GotSneakers. All of our proceeds will go toward the new building fund.
This organization will recycle sneakers as well as pay for sneakers in good condition. Help us raise some money, keep old shoes out of landfills and clean out your closet. We will have boxes in the elementary building across from the office and on the entry landing in the Hauser building.
Check out the links below for types of shoes and to answer any questions you may have.
