The Columbus High School speech and drama team travelled to Big Timber last Saturday, Dec. 14, to an invitational tournament stocked with Southern division rivals. The CHS drama team performed consistently well and received second place in the class B sweepstakes. Columbus speech competitors held their own, but lacked the numbers necessary to place in the sweeps.

Columbus also showed strength in classical theater and dramatic theater. Leslie Richardson and Shelby Knudsen were second in classical, and teammates Jonathan McDonald and Taylor Brumfield finished fifth in classical.

Every year, Columbus Elementary School students choose a charity, such as donating to Project Hope, adopting a local family to buy presents for or a food drive for folks in the community.

This year, Mrs. Roberts’ 2nd grade class chose to help the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter. Two weeks ago, flyers were sent out to promote this fundraiser. Last week, the students went around to all the classes and collected the donations, which totaled just more than $300. Mrs. Roberts tied this in with a lesson on the importance of community service.
