From the desk of Mrs. Anderson
Good afternoon! As a reminder Fall Break is right around the corner from October 15th - 19th!
I hope everyone enjoys!
We had an amazing turn-out of approximately 350 people attend Breakfast Buddies last month! This is always a wonderful opportunity for the students and a buddy of their choice to have this time together.
Last week we had spirit days to coordinate with College Go Week. The teachers had many discussions with their students about college and what opportunities our students will have as they continue their educational path. Our students raised $187 which will go toward a scholarship for a Decatur Central senior who attended Gold Academy!
As always, our goal is to Educate, Empower and Inspire our students each day!
Gold Academy is Decatur Proud!

All children in first, third, fifth, and eighth grades.
New students who have come from schools outside of Marion County.
Children suspected of having vision problems that are not already under medical supervision.
No child will be obligated to submit to testing if parents or guardians object to the screening. Any objections to these screenings must be made in writing and signed by the parent or guardian and sent to the school prior to the day of the vision screening. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call our school nurse.
