As providers and caretakers, adults tend to view the world of children as happy and carefree. After all, kids don't have jobs to keep or bills to pay, so what could they possibly have to worry about? Plenty! Even very young children have worries and feel stress to some degree.

GOOD MORNING COLUMBIA!
Mrs. Ohrel, a science teacher at the high school, as well as a community member, is amazingly talented in art!
This year we created several chalkboard walls and she has graciously agreed to share her talents to continually update these spaces with positive messages and art.
Here are the current displays...the last one is extremely relative...let's all remember to be HUMBLE and KIND during these difficult times!
