Congrats to our Bowling Team who took 1st place in the Central Conference and got to go compete at state this past weekend!

Our regional final was last weekend and we had a very strong showing, especially from our girls team! 2 boys and 2 girls qualified for the varsity state final and 7(!) girls qualified for the JV wave. For context, this means that 9 girls qualified for State while no other team in our region had more than 5.

The following climbers qualified for the state competition this weekend in Colorado Springs.

Boys:

Logan Wynes (V), Henry Holsing (V)

Girls:

Maggie Reid (V), McCaslin Longobardi (V), Quinn Hall, Emmay Jordan, Sadie Mobley, Aven Bern, Beatrix Summers, Brook Grigel, Anna Jones.

In the summer of 2024, twenty-three Golden students and staff traveled to Peru and had an incredible time exploring ancient Incan sites, getting to know local people, enjoying delicious food, taking in rich history and art, and stunning natural beauty. We are thrilled to announce that in the summer of 2026, we are returning to the "Land of the Inca". All current Golden students are welcome to join. We are hosting an online informational meeting February 27, at 6:30 p.m. for interested families to learn more. Please RSVP if you plan on attending the informational meeting. If you have any questions, please reach out to Steve Watson (spwatson@jeffcoschools.us)

If you have not yet ordered a yearbook, now is the time! We need to finalize our order and get an appropriate number of books. This presale is the only guaranteed way to ensure a book, as we don't order many extras. If you are planning to purchase at the end of the school year, please reconsider. If you can't pay in full now, it's easy to set up a payment plan through Jostens!

If you have already ordered, thank you so much for supporting the students and our yearbook program. They are working so hard to put together the best book possible. Ready to order your yearbook? www.jostensyearbook.com
