[quote=Anonymous]We have two kids at St. Columbas right now and, funnily enough, the aspects of the playground you're describing were some of the biggest draws for us. The school prides itself on the amount of time spent outdoors - our half-day (12:30) kids would have two recesses, and our full-day (2:30) kids have three. And unlike any of my friends' kids' schools, they go outside every. day. of. the. year. It is wild how much fun they have in the snow and rain. Plus, at least during non-Covid times, there is a full-time recess staff member who daily sets up obstacle courses or relays, takes care of the chickens, helps each classroom with its garden, and finds odd objects to introduce (for example, they get a dozen Christmas trees each January that spend a month being props put to every possible use). Then the stream runs in the spring and fall. In other words, the playground is a kid's dream.

I agree that the exterior of the building needs a facelift, but the classrooms are bright and spacious. And the staff is incredible -- there has been almost no turnover during COVID. We have been very happy. [/quote]
