Thank you for our new play spaces Parents & Friends!

Columba Parents and Friends has paid for ANOTHER upgrade to our school playground. We now have new game line markings in the school and a wonderful new foyer logo!

The students are already having so much fun using the hopscotch and four-square lines, especially those wanting to play in a shady area! Thank you Parents and Friends!
