On June 5th, our 6th grade students participated in their annual "Walk," a special tradition that marks the end of their time at Columbia Middle School - Taylor Campus.

As they completed their final walk as Taylor students, we celebrated their accomplishments, growth, and the memories they have made along the way. This milestone symbolizes the end of one chapter and the beginning of another as they prepare to head "up the hill" for 7th grade next school year.

We are so proud of all they have achieved and wish them the very best as they continue their educational journey. Good luck, 6th graders—we can't wait to see all that you accomplish!

❤️💛
