Southern Columbia's Physical Education classes have been busy in October. Physical activity not only strengthens your heart, but also your brain! It improves blood flow to the brain which in turn increases cognitive function. The brain lights up after exercise, causing your thinking, learning, and attention span to zero in and gear up for success! Here are some fun action snapshots from our classes.
Please join us for Trunk or Treat on Wednesday, October 30, from 6:00 - 7:30 pm in the Southern Columbia High School parking lot. This free event is presented to the community by the Southern Columbia High School Student Council. We hope to see you there! 👻🦇🎃
We will be having a High School Halloween Spirit Week starting on Monday, October 28th. Please see the attached graphic for more information! 🎃🦇
