Parents' Association

MOSAIC is an organization for parents of students of African descent interested in continuing Columbus School for Girls' diversity efforts and works to foster a more inclusive school community. Our mission is to: 
 

• Ensure our children are getting the most from their CSG experience;
• Be resources for ourselves and our children as well as for parents/families of prospective students;
• Expand our role in increasing diversity at CSG through services and outreach and educational cultural and philanthropic endeavors;
• Broaden our own awareness of the diverse cultures within society, and specifically, within the CSG community; and
• Share our diverse cultures and experiences among ourselves and our children and with the larger CSG community.

The official source for CSG spirit gear, the Unicorner has a wide variety of CSG merchandise to fit your every need. Find the perfect gift for your favorite student, parent, or alum online or on campus! Orders can be delivered to your daughter at school or shipped directly to your house.

The Parents’ Association recognizes CSG’s faculty and staff twice during the school year: the second week of November and the first week of May. The PA has held parent-led luncheons, provided daily treats, and purchased unique spirit wear all through donations raised by parents buying Sponsor A Teacher vouchers that are sold through the Unicorner. Every penny raised is spent making sure all of our faculty and staff members feel special, loved, and very much appreciated.

The Form Parent is the face of the Parents’ Association in each form. Form parents coordinate division parties and provide form-specific communication to parents throughout the school year. 

Form Activity Contribution Form:  Parents/Guardians can make contributions to support classroom activities. The funds are used for parties (Halloween, Valentine’s Day, etc.) and other miscellaneous classroom activities, which change by division. Unspent funds roll over each year and any balance remaining by Form XII is used to support the Senior Brunch.
