CICCARELLI “Find a need and fill it” Significantly CSG Ruth Stafford Peale’s simple yet profound directive has been embraced by generations of CSG students. When perusing Meditations of the Heart, which outlines All School programs dating back to 1908, one finds interfaith The PYC Treehouse Dedication services dedicated to serving others. Although the notion of service has changed over time, it could not be more important than it is today. As Gregory Smith and David Sobel explain in the Spring 2013 issue of Independent School magazine, making connections between that which occurs in classrooms and the lives students lead in their communities is crucial not only to the lives of our students, but also to the world in which we live. Acknowledging that US citizens have become more isolated from one another over the past several decades, Smith and Sobel suggest that “…community-based learning can serve as one antidote to this isolation by taking young people into neighborhoods, workplaces, agencies, and city council meetings where they can interact with adults and see themselves as fellow citizens with shared responsibilities…” For this reason and others, Columbus School for Girls provides many opportunities for students to work in the Columbus community and beyond, where they identify and seek to solve problems.

We pray that God will return them to us; for they are the living symbols of the spirit of these words by Dr. Willis Sutton: "The measure of a man is his in­ terest in, his willingness to work for, to fight for, and even to die for a future which he shall never see." The Board of Education W. J. RICHARDSON L. M. KRUMM CHARLES D. WILLIARD WM. HARRINGTON WALKER MAYNARD M. DONALDSON President Over a period of years the Board of Education has been alert to the educational needs of a growing community. In accordance with plans worked out with Mr. Fawcett, the board asked the people to approve a bond issue in the election of November, 1944. The citizens came through with a resounding vote of confidence. Plans for an improved and expanded school system now await only the release of essential building materials. Four major changes will be made in the school plant. These include the construction of a new elementary building at Maryland Avenue and Cassingham Road, small additions to the Cassingham school, extensive remodel­ ing at the Main-Montrose building, and a second story addition over the cafeteria and shop at the high school.
