First Days Of School
We had a wonderful first two days of school!  We were excited to come together as a school community for our opening flag ceremony.  We thank Mr. Eagan and the Marines for presenting the colors, our Brownie troop for saying the Pledge of Allegiance and the following students for their leadership:  Nick Farley, Ryan Zayaz, and Jack Nottingham.





Wednesday, August 16th – Back to School Night for Parents Only
Classroom teachers will provide parents with an overview of the school year on Wednesday, August 16th, during the following two Back to School Night sessions: 6:05-6:35 PM & 6:40-7:10 PM.  The principal will share school celebrations, upcoming goals and tips for helping your child at home from 5:45-6:00 PM in the gym.  We hope you will join us for these informative sessions.

Going For the GOLD in Parker
We kick off each school year with student assemblies that teach students what it looks like to "Go for the G.O.L.D." (Give respect, Own your action, Listen and learn and Do your best). This year we are excited to demonstrate these character traits in our community. Gold Rush is partnering with the Parker Task Force, which currently serves over 400 families in need. In the coming weeks we will collect unopened, prepackaged food (cheese sticks, milk, yogurt, fruit, chips etc.) that students did not eat and did not want to take home or save for snack. Food that would have otherwise been thrown away will be donated to the Parker Task Force on a weekly basis. We know that our young kids can make a big difference and that this small act will greatly impact local families.
