As we prepare to renovate and rebuild our beloved school, we invite members of our school community to share their memories of St. Columbkille from 1956 to 2024.
St. Columbkille School was always a fun, beautiful, loving place to spend my days. I’ll never forget the wonderful moments of learning and growing! I loved doing the science fair with 6-8 graders, as well as the Rube Goldberg projects! I remember sprinkling the seeds in the prairie garden to grow the flowers and bushes. As a member of the last 8th grade class of St. Columbkille, I remember the many years of quest teams, being the captain of Mighty Maroon with Mrs. Deeny. Quest teams were a fun way to build school community. The younger children had older students to look up to, and the older students learned the opportunity to learn responsibility knowing that they were role models for the younger students. Now, as I work at the parish, this has come full circle! I have walked with many of the younger students I remember from my elementary/middle school days as adults in Baptism prep. Our memories of our years at St. Columbkille School have been joyful reconnecting points! Share Your Memory of St. Columbkille School
