The grand opening for the new Upper Columbia Academy cafeteria was held Monday, Feb. 24, amid a winter storm that was akin to Christmas. Students and staff alike enjoyed the ribbon-cutting ceremony even though they were bombarded with snowflakes. This event marks the beginning of a new gathering place for food and friendships and a new footprint for the campus, which will open up the campus. Students have been using the new cafeteria since the move-in on Nov. 20.
The ribbon is cut by (from left) Cliff Wallace, son of Pop Wallace, for whom the cafeteria is named; Paul Hoover, Upper Columbia Conference president; Weston David, building committee chair; John Winslow, Upper Columbia Academy principal; and Omar Alfaro, student body president.
