Welcome to the ColumbiaLiteracy.org

Welcome to ColumbiaLiteracy.org. This blog is a place for posting information about trainings and services offered throughout the county, particularly in the areas of literacy and parenting.

Schools and community agencies are invited to add their information to the blog and to provide links to current opportunities in Columbia County. If you have a parenting or literacy training that you would like to add, please contact Cindy Jaeger at cindyj@nwresd.k12.or.us


ColumbiaLiteracy.org is the result of a planning committee entitled Columbia County School-Community Literacy Task Force. An initial effort of this task force was to establish a county-wide literacy connection by creating a central place to locate relevant information. We hope you will find this to be a useful means of locating pertinant training and parenting information for children and families.

-- Thank you, Cindy Jaeger, NWRESD
