As part of PTA Hero Night and Book Fair, students at Columbus learned about the importance of books and reading, and also paying respect to members of the community who ensure safety and good health. These heroes, who included a police officer and nurse, read to the students and spoke to them about their commitment to helping others. With popular children's book character Clifford the Big Red Dog also in attendance, Hero Night and the Book Fair served as a forum to continue promoting literacy and the rewards of community service.
