Highlights of the Week

Talent Show

Our students showcased their many talents today during the whole school talent show.  Our children were amazing!  We were all so impressed with their ability to sing, dance and cup stack.  We were also proud of them for taking a risk and performing in front of their teachers and peers.  The show clearly demonstrated that Gold Rush has talent!

School Culture Survey Results

This week the school leadership team reviewed our school’s results from the state culture survey.  The T.E.L.L. survey, or Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning Survey, is administered to all certified staff every two years and it measures the following areas:  time, facilities and resources, community support, student conduct, teacher leadership, school leadership, professional development and instructional practices. We were excited about our school’s many celebrations!  Here is what teachers believe are some of our many accomplishments:
