Columbia ES was one of 50 local PTAs that was selected through a competitive process to receive funding from the National PTA for the PTA Connected: Be Internet Awesome program that is sponsored by Google + YouTube.

Through this grant, the Columbia PTA will work hand in and with Columbia staff and the Technology Committee to host an interactive PTA Connected: Be Internet Awesome program to engage parents and caregivers in meaningful and interactive peer-to-peer conversations about raising children in an online world and create a shared understanding of healthy online habits and what it means to Be Internet Smart, Alert, Strong, Kind and Brave.

We’re thrilled to have been chosen and can’t wait to plan activities that engage, inspire and support OUR community. Over the coming months, we will share more information about plans for this program.
