This year there will be monthly Family Engagement Events for our ECE families! You can also find resources from the last event, upcoming event information, and our Pre-K Calendars for the school year.
Columbus City School students are invited to apply for our camp scholarships to attend a week of camp (half-days or full days) for only $50.00. We have openings in both the am and pm half-day Pre-K camps and K-1st (half-day and fully-day) camps.
Thank You Columbus Recreation and Parks Department for providing the support to allow us to offer more scholarships opportunities this summer to Columbus youth!
