space-themed invitation to Columbia open house for the community

Community members, former Columbia students, staff and families are invited to take a look inside Las Cruces Public Schools' newest building this Saturday, Oct. 4 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. 

Columbia Elementary School officially reopened at 4555 Elks Drive over the summer, just as the 2025-2026 school year started. Families had an opportunity to take a tour inside, but some areas of the building were still under construction. A ribbon cutting to formally introduce the building is scheduled for Friday, followed by a Community Open House on Saturday.
