Theme Thursdays
Starting next Thursday, September 5th, we will be showing our school spirit by having Theme Thursdays each week. We are going to kick off our Theme Thursdays with a celebration of Golfview's 65th Anniversary by everyone wearing a green shirt on Thursday, September 5th. We will be taking a whole school photo to commemorate our 65th anniversary and look forward to sharing it out in the near future.
To help families plan, we have included a flyer of all the Thursdays through October!
