One of my favorite annual activities is baking Christmas
cookies. Sometime I end up baking them
during the second week of December, but this year I made them this past
weekend. As usual I made three types:
Lebkuchen, Molasses and Sugar Cookies. While
I enjoy making and eating all three of them, my favorite type is sugar cookies.
At Columbia School District we encourage our students to
have favorite pursuits, and much like I enjoy baking Christmas cookies, our
students enjoy participating in various activities. This past weekend our about forty of our
Columbia Central High School students participated in a musical play. The students had been diligently practicing
their lines and songs for quite a few weeks.
The sets were nice and the actors and actresses performed well. One of the things I noticed about many of the
students in the play was that just like I make several different types of
cookie, most of the participants are involved in several activities at Columbia.
Additionally this past weekend our Columbia Upper Elementary
Lego Robotics Team competed in a robotics meet.
This is a new activity and is giving the students an opportunity to use
teamwork and problem solving strategies to plan, develop, program and build the
robot. This activity helps the
participants build their critical thinking skills and exposes them to a future
in robotics. Much like I enjoy baking
Christmas cookies, the robotics students enjoy participating in this
educational and fun activity.
Whether a student enjoys after school activities like plays
or robotics, or likes participating in sports, band, honor society or
leadership activities, they make the school experience better, just like
frosting does on the sugar cookies. At
Columbia School District we encourage our students and their families to be
involved in school sponsored and community activities. If you are interested in learning more about
the activities offered for your student, email me at pamela.campbell@myeagles.org or
