It’s important that we share information about upcoming events and we want the chance to hear what you have to say! Be on the look out for PSA written communications like our PSA Newsletter that goes out the first week of each month. The PSA Newsletter includes information on all events for the upcoming months! It really is the best place to keep you up to date. You can find a copy of the newsletter at www.stcolumba.net under the News. Like us on Facebook @St.DenisSt.ColumbaPSA and get event reminders, photo’s of school events and so much more. We will often post last minute changes to an event, like snow cancellations on Facebook. The PSA has our tab on the school website, www.stcolumba.net. We will post event flyers, sign up forms/sign up geniuses, treasurer forms and now…..our BLOG! It is great idea to get in the habit of regularly checking the PSA tab on the school site to make sure you stay in the know! Sign up for our BLOG for the most detailed and up to date information on PSA and School events. The PSA Community BLOG will feature posts written by Executive Board members, Committee Chairpersons and others, that will give details of upcoming events and outline ways you can get involved.
