Dear Golden Families,

What an AMAZING week at Golden! 💙💛

A huge thank you to all of our families who joined us for 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝗻𝗲. What a special two days! I loved seeing our campus filled with families, laughter, hugs, and so many happy Golden Eagles. I especially enjoyed getting to talk with so many of you. There is never enough time to connect with everyone, but don’t worry... 𝘄𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴! ❤️

I am eternally grateful for our Golden community. We have such a strong network of families who care deeply about our students, support our school, and show up for one another. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲. Thank you for being such an important part of it.

And the fun continues! 🎬⭐ 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗬! Come hang out with me and your fellow Golden families as we watch 𝗧𝗼𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝟱 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀! Bring your chairs, blankets, and yourselves, and come hungry! Our 6th grade team will be serving up dinner with B+C, along with plenty of snacks, treats, and concessions for sale. This is always one of my favorite Golden nights, and I hope to see you there!

October is looking pretty amazing, too! We have our 𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗗 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 coming up, a fun 𝗕𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗼 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 in the works, and so much more. Seriously, how did we get so lucky? 💛

We are also officially in 𝗝𝗼𝗴-𝗮-𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻! 🚀⭐ If you are new to Golden, you are in for a treat. This is one of our biggest and most exciting events of the year! Let’s get things started by registering your child on PledgeStar and making sure you enter their T-shirt size. Students who raise a minimum of $35 by Oct. 8th will earn this year’s Jog-a-Thon shirt. Our theme says it all: Reach for the Stars... One Lap at a Time! 🌟

And don’t forget, this is the 𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗧𝗔 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁! Your support of our PTA makes so much of what we love about Golden possible, from incredible family events to programs and experiences for our students. We truly could not do it without you. Thank you for continuing to support our school and our amazing PTA!

🍂 Fall is here, our Golden Eagles are working hard, and there is so much to look forward to!

Let’s have the BEST week, Golden! Start it off with 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 by wearing a motivational shirt or your favorite college gear! 🧠✨

𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱! (𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱) 💙💛🦅
