Runza Night

Last night a percentage of all the sales at Runza went to the Home and School Association for St. Columbkille Catholic School. And behind the counter helping were Principal Makey and Asst. Principal Redburn.

It was a fun night, but they had

 better not quit their day jobs.

Catholic Principal Appreciation

Every year, St. Columbkille Catholic School honors it's principal. Since this is the 100th year of our school, today was extra special as we had some former principals with us, as Sr. Delores Dolezal visiting to represent the Benedictine Sisters who supplied out first eleven principals.

During Mass we had a candle lit for each of the principals who have passed away.. We also included Mrs. Dorothy Cubrich in our prayers as her health prevented her from attending. She was our rpincipal from 1993 to 1996.

In addition to Principal Makey and Assistant Princial Redburn, who currently serve the school, we welcomed our other visitors. We had Mr. Bob Voboril (1980-1990), Mrs. Sue Martin (1991-1993), Mrs. Christine Overkamp (1996-2010) and Mrs. Mary McGuire (2013).

The students thanked the teachers for setting the standards for education.

We also had a student speaker.

Sr. Delores presented Mr. Makey a gift from the Benedictine Sisters.

This is a picture of our first principal, Sr. Celestine who was outr principal from 1916 until 1931.

Afterwards there was a reception

 for our honored guests.

They also received a tour of the school -- though they seemed to most enjoy reminiscing about the school and visitingteachers form their time at the school.

We were honored that they were willing to come back and visit. We look forward to telling more about some things we learned from them about the school's past. We'll be sharing that sometime in the future.

Our 8th Graders Make their Suggestions

A group of 8th grade students from St. Columbkille Catholic School met with Principals Makey and Redburn today. They told the principals what they like about their school and presented suggestions for improvement.

There was good interaction between the groups as they all look for ways to make the school even better.

Special School Guests

It was an ordinary morning at St. Columbkille Catholic School until ...

 ... some special guests arrived.

It was one of Santa's elves and the reindeer Prancer.

Principal Makey and Assistant Principal Redburn agreed to dress in costumes if the Home and School Association Fundraiser surpassed $35,000. They decided today was a fun day to dress up and pass out candy.

Congratulations to the school for doing so well in their fundraiser.

Thank you to our special guests!

Appreciating our Principals

Thursday was a national day to appreciate our principals. It was a great chance for our community to express our appreciation to Mr. Makey and Mrs Redburn.

 As part of the program after Mass each grade 

thanked our principal for a quality they possess.

 We thank our principals and their families!
