From the desk of Mrs. Anderson
We had a great turnout at our Winter Carnival yesterday evening! Below, you will see some fun pictures of this event. Mr. McGill was the lucky one from Gold Academy to get a pie in the face!
On March 12th from 5:30-7:00, Gold and Blue Academies will be hosting a STEAM Fest. This will be a fun and educational event. The flyers were sent home with all students. We hope to see you there!
Our third grade students will be taking the IREAD-3 test on March 16th and 17th. Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and eats breakfast at home or when they arrive at school. I know they will do an amazing job!
With our Gold Academy parent support, we are preparing our students to become “Tomorrow Ready!”
Gold Academy is Decatur Proud!
