I recently visited our first grade classes to talk about leadership, citizenship, and my job in the admissions office at Columbia Independent School. Afterward, students wrote thank-you notes, and I received one with this drawing. It struck me how perfect it is: yep, that’s what I do every day. Do you want your child to go to CIS? If so, message me, because admissions season is underway!
