As I looked out the window and saw the snowflakes falling, I
walked outside to catch some of the light, fluffy, cold snowflakes in my
hand. The snowflakes seemed quite
similar, although I know that no two snowflakes are alike. Looking at the snowflakes it made me think
about how our students are similar in age and size, even in temperament, although
each child is unique. Similarly to the
way that the complex shapes of the snowflakes are molded and formed by the
different environments they pass through, our students bring with them
different experiences that give them differing and unique capabilities and
strengths.
At Columbia Central our teachers provide success oriented
activities designed to give our students positive experiences. Just like we do at all levels at Columbia we
address the various differences in our students by offering classes especially
designed to give them academic success. Our Advanced Placement courses give
students a taste of college level academics while still in high school. In addition to their basic academic core
subjects, students have an opportunity to take Calculus, Physics, Chemistry,
Engineering, Robotics, Spanish, French, Senior Transitions, band, choir, physical
fitness and Psychology. We also have
many athletic teams for our students, along with musicals and plays.
As each and every one of our students transform into the
unique individual people they are to become, it is our responsibility to
nurture and educate them. Similarly to the way we appreciate the unique
differences in snowflakes, Columbia School District teachers from preschool
through high school work with their students to educate them with strategies
designed to give them a positive foundation for a bright future. If you are interested in learning more about
