Happy Holidays!!!!
Columbus JH Riverside Campus News
Winter break is here!!!!
It's hard to believe that the first semester is over. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were starting school in the August heat. As we start our holiday break please take time to be thankful for the staff that take care of our Columbus Cardinal students. From teachers, counselors, cafeteria and custodial workers everyone contributes to help keep our students safe, and growing as young adults. I hope everyone enjoys time with family and friends and has a safe and happy holiday season. When we return in January it is a great time to start new habits and make adjustments as a student. Please encourage your child to find a positive way to make an impact at school and make our community a better place!
