From the desk of Mrs. Anderson
It is hard to believe that we are one week into February already! Our students and staff are doing fantastic things here at the Gold Academy. It is exciting to see the learning that is taking place in our classrooms!
As you know from our last Gazette, we will be having an incentive party for positive behavior coming up on February 15th. I have had several students approach me with the countdown to this fun event! Be on the look-out for pictures in our next Gazette!
This past fall Mrs. McGathey's language arts students were given the opportunity to participate in the Patriot's Pen essay contest. This contest is sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW). The students were asked to answer the following question, "Why do I Honor the American Flag," within their essay. They are pictured below.
We are proud to announce that the local Decatur VFW local post selected the following Gold Academy students as their top winners: Abby Lehman (1st place), Aleisha Edwards (2nd place) and Kylie Williams (3rd place). Gold Academy is extremely proud of their hard work and effort.
As always, our goal is to Educate, Empower and Inspire our students each day!
Gold Academy is Decatur Proud!
