On August 25th at 6:00 p.m. Columbia School District families are invited to join us for a presentation from Rachel's Challenge. The presentation will be held in the Cholumbia Central Jr -Sr High school auditorium.

Rachel's Challenge is a national nonprofit organization focusing on K-12 academic and social-emotional learning. Rachel's Challenge is designed to work with current Columbia School District programs to create a connection between students, faculty, and staff. Visit the Rachel's Challenge website to learn more about its mission.

A hero doesn't necessarily have to wear a cape and tights, maybe a hero speaks up for what's right. Maybe that hero could be you. If you see or hear something that doesn't seem right, you can submit a confidential tip to OK2SAY. OK2SAY allows anyone to confidentially report tips on criminal activities or potential harm directed at Michigan students, school employees, or schools.

Protect yourself and others by using OK2SAY. Because if you won't, who will? https://www.michigan.gov/ok2say...
