Our children are our treasures, our living legacies to our community and to the world at large. We want for them all the things we deny ourselves so they can have a life better than our own. We wish for them to fulfill all the dreams we believe thay can attain.

The only answer for the attainment of this goal is education. Education provides our children with the tools to dynamically fulfill their potential and create the world that they deserve to achieve. For our children to realize their promise our education system must be provided tools. In Columbia we are indeed fortunate to have educators who are committed to the future of their students, but our education system is based upon a minimum standard each child must meet. For our children to attain more, it is vital that we community members reach out and provide our education system with one more resource, the Columbia Educational Foundation.
