[quote=Anonymous][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]

All 3 of ours went to St. C's, the youngest is now in 2nd and my how we ALL miss those days!  The best best playground and faculty.  I haven't seen the playground in a year but if it's run down I hope the school will spruce it up.  This is a gem of a school.  And as far as the outdoor play, truly no matter the weather our kids still play outside, much more so than some of their friends.  Good luck![/quote]
