From the desk of Mrs. Anderson
It is hard to believe that we are already in the month of September! We have had a great start to the school year.
Right around the corner is our Donuts with Grown-ups event, which is next Friday, September 13th. This event is highlighted in more detail below. We hope to see you there!
We also have a fun spirit week coming up the week of September 23rd. This is homecoming week for our Decatur Central football team! Go Hawks!
Students of the Month for August are highlighted in this week’s Gazette. Congratulations to all of our recipients. They have worked extremely hard and we are Decatur Proud!
As we continue moving forward through the 2019-2020 school year, we want to ensure that we continue to prioritize Student Learning, Safety, and Customer Service each day as we prepare our students to be “Tomorrow Ready!”
Gold Academy is Decatur Proud!
