Donuts for Dads Celebration

Columbia Elementary School held its first “Donuts for Dads” April 4, 2014 at the school, said Columbia Elementary technology teacher Laurel Cutting. The event was organized by school social worker Annette Lopez.The event was held “to recognize and acknowledge all of the Columbia Elementary dads and thank them for their support of their child’s education,” said Cutting. “Approximately 100 dads attended with their children, and 220 donuts were consumed,” she said.“This event and many of Columbia’s other school functions are important in helping parents to feel welcome in our school and to let them know that we appreciate them for supporting their child’s education and letting them know that their child’s success is a team effort,” said Lopez.“We are absolutely thrilled that so many of our dads came out to join us this morning for donuts,” said Columbia Elementary Principal Tiffany Gomez. “It just shows how dedicated our Columbia parents are to the success of their children. Team Columbia is truly amazing,” she said.
