Dear Columbus Academy Families,

Tomorrow, we will hold a pep rally at the end of the school day and the 40th annual Charlie David Dinner from 5:00-7:30 p.m. at our dining hall, patio and Lazarus Courtyard. In honor of those events, we are encouraging all students, faculty and staff to wear Academy spiritwear to school tomorrow. And instead of dress code on bottom, jeans, athletic pants and sweatpants will be allowed but no short shorts or yoga pants.

If you did not register in advance for Charlie David Dinner meal tickets, do not fret because they will be available for purchase when you check in. All are welcome to join this community-wide tailgate (click here for event information) before our varsity football team’s 7:30 kickoff against archrival Bexley!

Also, please remember that starting on Monday, part of Cherry Bottom Road near the Morse Road intersection will be closed so the only ways to get to campus will be from Beecher Road off Hamiliton Road or coming from Johnstown Road (and the Creekside area) along Cherry Bottom. With more traffic than usual being redirected to those two routes, expect delays both to and from campus. Our security team will be working with bus drivers to make the best of this situation, but arrival times coming home from school via bus may also be affected. Students will not be marked tardy during this road project if they are late due to traffic.

Thank you, and go Vikes!
