📚✨ Adventure, History, and Reading Came to Life at CMS - Taylor Campus! ✨📚
This summer, students took part in our Freedom Crossing Summer Literacy Camp, where they explored the novel Freedom Crossing by Margaret Goff Clark while building their reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills.
Campers connected literature to local history by learning about the Underground Railroad in Columbia, researching historical sites, and creating projects that brought the story to life. Through reading, discussion, creativity, and teamwork, students discovered how ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference.
We are proud of the hard work, curiosity, and enthusiasm shown throughout camp. Thank you to everyone who helped make this summer learning experience a success!

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!
