SCHOOL NEWS
Dear Families,
At the end of March we will say goodbye to our librarian Mrs. Reinagel. After many years of hard work, and
dedication to our school Mrs. Reinagel and her husband have decided to travel and pursue new interests. We
wish her all the best and she will truly be missed. Also, if anyone would like to talk to her about volunteering
your time, please contact her at nonajustnona@gmail.com or call 858-699-5311.
St. Columba School had a week full of events. It was our hope that as a community we could celebrate
the gift of Catholic education and all who have contributed to its legacy throughout the years and today. I
was once told that Catholic education is one of the greatest gifts you can give a child. I didn’t necessarily
appreciate it going through 12 years with strict Dominican nuns. But as I became older, with life’s challenges, I
realized that it was the beauty of faith that was instilled in me. It was just not the nuns who taught us about
faith, but it was our parents who also understood their role in reinforcing it in us. Together the sisters and my
parents not only taught me about God, but they demonstrated his goodness in their every day lives. Through
faith our children will have the ability to pursue their dreams and ambitions. Most parents would agree that we
have big dreams for our children. Children have big dreams for themselves. Perhaps that song the students
enjoy to sing in Mass, “Go Make a Difference,” will give them the faith and perseverance to pursue their
dreams.
Thank you to all our families and parishioners who have supported St. Columba School for the last 55 years.
This parish has been built on love and dedication. On behalf of the faculty and staff of St. Columba we pray
that God will bless our community with his love so that we can all work together in harmony instilling in children
the beauty of faith, hope and peace.
Blessings,
Ms. Navarro
