ST. COLUMBA EMAILS DOWN
Just in case you missed the message...
We would like to give you a quick update letting you know that our email accounts have been down since early Friday so you likely didn't receive the snow day email and we haven't received any messages you sent our way since then. We have been working with the company that hosts our domain throughout the weekend and they have let us know that it will likely be down for a few additional days. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
While our teacher and staff email accounts are down, you can relay any time sensitive messages through Heidi's cell phone (text is preferred) at 970-749-8757. We are happy to pass on any messages to teachers this way as well. Our school line, 970-247-5527, is the best place to reach us during our 7:30-3:30 school hours. Our voicemails for the main school line as well as the attendance line go to the office and attendance emails, so we will be unable to retrieve those for a few days as well.
With our website down, we want to make sure you have access to the week's lunch menu:
Tuesday - Hot Dogs
Wednesday - Steak Street Tacos
Thursday - Chicken Nuggets
Friday - Pizza
It seems like the most pressing matter on everyone's minds is a make-up Valentine's Party. Classes will get a chance to celebrate with their friends this Friday, February 21st, at 2:30.
We appreciate your patience and will let you know when everything is back up and running!
A member of our community rrecently shared the following article with Mr. Chick and he felt there was value in sharing it with our school families. The article can also be found HERE. Enjoy!

THE PRESCHOOL CORNER
Theater Props Still Needed!!
Dear St. Columba Community,
We are middle school students in the Theater Design elective. This semester we are working on the spring production of Willy Wonka. We need your help to gather materials! We are looking for: -pink aluminum cans like Poppi Raspberry Rose, Doc Pop, or Strawberry Lemonade -green plastic bottles like 7 Up and Mountain Dew. These can be any size. -cogs, springs, and gears. These need to be at least three inches in diameter, but the larger the better. -old climbing ropes in any shade of green. None of these materials will make it back to you, so please don't bring in items that you would want returned. Items can be dropped off at the office. We hope you will come see the show on the 9th and 10th of May!
Thank you for your help!
St. Columba Students
