Everyone "romaine" calm, the flower sale sells vegetables and herbs too! If you have never eaten a tomato right off the vine that is slightly warm from the summer sun, you are seriously missing out. Plant an herb or vegetable garden and eat fresh all summer long.  Shop now for herbs, veggies, flowers, planters and more!  Deadline to purchase is March 18th.  Please email csgflowersale@gmail.com with any questions, and thank you again for your continued support of CSG.  Flower sale delivery will take place on Tuesday, May 7th.  

SCHOLARSHIP WALK 2024 - APRIL 19

The CSG Scholarship Walk is a beloved tradition that dates back to 1972. While the location and distance walked may have changed over the years, our commitment remains to ensure that every student who could flourish and thrive at CSG has the opportunity to do so. This year’s walk is on Friday, April 19 and details of the day were emailed home to families on March 6.  A reminder for parents....Students should:  wear comfortable, layered clothing, wear appropriate (closed-toe) athletic shoes and socks for walking, rain gear if there is a chance of light rain, bring a refillable water bottle and a packed lunch clearly labeled with the student's name and form.  Remember, all items must be peanut/tree nut free.  Also please make sure all items your student brings are labeled with their name!

We also need your help to make Scholarship Walk a huge success! If you'd like to volunteer to help, see the link in the email sent on March 6.  We encourage families and friends to make a donation and/or purchase a Scholarship Walk t-shirt on the CSG website (t-shirts can only be purchased online). Donations of cash and check can be turned into the Development Office in Kibler House or your student's divisional office.  Please put your student's name and "Scholarship Walk Donation" on the envelope. The deadline to purchase a Scholarship Walk shirt is Wednesday, April 3 at 10:00 a.m.  Questions can be directed to Rebecca Bailey, Assistant Director of Development/Major Gifts.  


Reminders...   

CHANGE IN ATTENDANCE REPORTING
Please report any absence, late arrival, or early dismissal to MSAttendance@columbusschoolforgirls.org or call the MS Office at 614-252-0781 x121 to leave a message before 8:30am.  Please refrain from emailing teachers or Mrs. Hartshorne directly and use the email above instead.  Thank you!  

ID BADGES & LANYARDS
As part of our continued efforts surrounding safety and security at school, older students (Forms VI - XII) have CSG ID Badges to facilitate easier access to the school building.  These badges will give them access to school during school hours. Students do not have access to school after hours, except in cases of extracurricular activities where coaches have made special arrangements to do so. Badges are considered a part of the uniform, and students should wear them every day. Lost badges should be reported immediately to Division Directors, Advisors or Divisional Administrative Assistants. 

STUDENT HEALTH
Please continue to monitor your child for illness/symptoms and keep her home when sick. If your child is out ill for more than 24 hours, please provide a doctor's note upon return and/or a negative COVID-19 test. If your child does test positive for COVID, please notify Nurse Scheiderer and keep your child home for 5 days from the start of symptoms; which is considered Day 0. Your child will need to return in a mask for days 6-10. Please reach out to Nurse Scheiderer with any health-related questions.
