Student Spotlight!
We want to highlight Columbus High senior Makiyah Burnett. Through McKellar's work-based learning program, Makiyah has been interning with Friendly City Books. As an intern, Makiyah helps stock and mail books, ensures the shelves are in order, sets up displays, helps decorate the store, and even reads and reviews new books.
"We have really enjoyed having Makiyah at Friendly City Books this year," FCB owner Emily Liner said. "She has made a tangible impact expanding our used book section, and she's contributed her creativity to add some decorative flair around the bookstore. She has also had the opportunity to participate in our events and meet authors like Andy Harkness and Nyani Nkrumah, and she has a staff picks shelf alongside the rest of the team."
Our work-based learning program helps high school students find their path to success after high school. After Makiyah graduates from CHS, she wants to study engineering and even build houses with 3D printers! Her love of reading, art, and design is what called her to intern with Friendly City Books and she said she's thankful for the opportunity and experience! We are proud of you, Makiyah and can't wait to see how you grow! #TogetherWeFly #StudentSpotlight #FalconProud

VAPA Night was a HUGE success!
Stars shine bright at CMSD. We are thankful to all the parents and community members for attending our VAPA night performances. For those who came, they enjoyed performances from our theatre classes, choir, CMS band, CHS band, and an art gallery.
"The arts significantly boost student achievement, reduce discipline problems and increase the odds students will go on to graduate from college," former Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said.
Thank you for supporting our students and art education! #FalconProud #ArtEducation #Artsed

Everything we do is student-centered here at CMSD. We just held professional development for the use of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication Device). Through this training, we helped teachers, assistant teachers, speech pathologists, case managers, and even grandparents understand AAC devices and how we can communicate effectively with each student. #StudentCentered #ExcellenceDriven #FalconProud
