Gold Academy Families,
Our Donuts with Grown-ups event was a success! We had approximately 400 people in attendance! Thank you to all of our Gold Academy families and our staff volunteers for making this a success!
This week we are highlighting one of our clubs which is held on Wednesdays. Miss Hagee and Miss McNew started the Craft Club and the students are more than excited! Last week in remembrance of 9/11, the students used cricut-made vinyl decals as a stencil on canvas. They applied the vinyl design to the canvas and used oil pastels to decorate the background. When finished, they removed the vinyl and wrote thank you cards to our Decatur Township Fire Department.
Starting this month, I have asked teachers to give me student names for positive calls. I am Decatur Proud to make these calls and discuss with parents what a tremendous job their children are doing at the Gold Academy!
Conference letters with confirmed times were sent home yesterday. We look forward to having all of our families attend the student-parent conferences!

Indianapolis Public Library Partnership
Decatur Township has entered into a partnership with the Indianapolis Public Library. Through this partnership, every year we provide the library with a list of our students, and they match the list with their database of patrons. If a student does not currently have a library card, they will be issued one. This program has been very successful in our schools and in other districts in Indianapolis.
The special card students receive will give them access to all of the library’s digital materials, such as databases of magazine and journal articles, downloadable ebooks, emagazines and audio books. In addition, it will give them very limited access to physical items, such as regular books. Of course, you can change this to a full access card by visiting your library. This is an outstanding opportunity for your student. If for any reason you do not wish for your child to participate, please contact our school office for paperwork to opt out.
Any questions or concerns about the program can be directed to Lynn Hodgkin, Elementary Media Coordinator, at 317-856-2221.
