Junior Achievement
Today students learned
about financial literacy, entrepreneurism and work readiness through Junior
Achievement. Members from Richey May,
Charter Communications and Grant Thornton facilitated activities that addressed
these important life skills. Students
enjoyed having our special visitors and the activities they presented! We thank Mr. Cohrs for bringing Junior
Achievement to Gold Rush for a second year in a row and all of the members for
sharing their expertise!
Community Meeting Regarding Chambers
Widening

Wellness Resources
As
the school year is coming to a close, we want to remind you that our mission of
ensuring that healthy students know when they need help and where to get help
continues into the summer months. The summer can be both an anticipated and
stressful time for students and their families. We want to ensure that families
are supported over the summer. The Douglas County Youth & Family Resource
Guide was developed by the Douglas County Youth Initiative to help coordinate
local youth-serving efforts and assess the needs of the children in our
community. This useful and extremely comprehensive resource is available at http://douglascountylibraries.org/Community/YouthResourcesDirectory.
Other
useful resources to consult are:
- Douglas
County Parent Coalition (http://www.dcparenting.org/)
- Douglas
County Outdoors (http://www.douglas.co.us/dcoutdoors/)
- DCSD
Homeless Student Liaison (https://www.dcsdk12.org/homelessstudentliaison/index.htm)
Your child’s safety is of the utmost importance,
and Gold Rush will do all we can to support every student’s well-being.
Please consider the resources offered on the STUDENT WELLNESS website and determine if they may be appropriate for your family.
