Hello Gold Academy Families,
Today was a special day. All of our staff, students, parents, and community members came together to celebrate our students of the month, Support Staff of the year, and Teacher of the Year. We all know that it gets very tough around this time of the school year, especially with the weather changing frequently. So any chance that we get to celebrate all of the wonderful things our students and staff are doing is a win for the Gold Academy! Thank you to all who attended this morning.
Last night we held our annual winter carnival. It was wonderful to see all of the families and students come to watch our grade level students perform. They have worked so hard and they were able to showcase what they have learned. A special thanks to our high school athletes and high school volunteer students. We could not have done this event without all of you.
When you visit you may see me wearing a shirt that says, “A Sea Full of Acceptance” Our E + R = O (Event + Response = O) moment this month focused on recognizing your own feelings, how your feelings affect others, and showing empathy. We also discussed supporting each other and making positive choices.
Our 2nd graders finished taking the IREAD assessment this week. Thank you to all of you for making sure that your child was in attendance at school and the support that was given to them. Our third graders will begin to take the test next week on Tuesday and Wednesday. They will leave their ipads at school so that we can make sure they have the latest update and they are fully charged.
