Students: You've heard the announcements and seen the posters for Medley/Service Club, but do you really know what this group does? Are you interested in being involved with Medley/Service Club? If so we would like you to sign up to receive emails and be a part of our meetings. Stop in the main office and sign up for Medley/Service Club at Mrs. Klaren's desk!!

Juniors: Interested in Eucharistic Ministering at mass here at Columbus next year? The Archdiocese has a policy that you need to be commissioned to minister within your home parish along with school, and not just school. If you are interested please contact your parish Director of Faith Formation for information on trainings. Mr. Larsen will check with each parish to find out who has been commissioned and will contact you about ministering here at Columbus.

Students looking for service hours, we have a individual who is looking for some help with spring prep yard work and some small plant removal. If you are interested, please see Mr. Larsen for contact information!
