CELEBRATING THE DIGGER DASH
We were all proud of students' efforts during the Digger Dash! We enjoyed running for additional robots for our school's STEAM lab. On Friday the fastest students at each grade level transformed the Principal and Assistant Principal into ice cream sundaes. We thank the PTO and our parent volunteers for making this event possible!
COLLABORATING ON DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
Gold Rush administration collaborated with the Parker Police Department, the Town of Parker Traffic Engineer and District Planning and Security personnel on existing dismissal procedures. While the police were comfortable with our current arrival procedures, we brainstormed several different options for dismissal. This team reviewed different plans for rerouting traffic during pick up only. Proposals will be revisited with this planning team and our School Advisory Council when we return from fall break.
FIRST GRADERS PROMOTE CITIZENSHIP
First grade students are learning about the rights and roles of responsible citizens. They wanted to share their learning with others and remind students what responsible citizens look like throughout our school. Students created signs that show what it looks like to Go for the G.O.L.D. in different locations in our building. Their posters include a QR code that explains their thinking. Check out a few student samples below.
CRAZY HAIR FOR HARVEY
When fifth graders heard about the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey they were driven to act. They organized a crazy hair day to raise money for those affected. Students and staff enjoyed showing their spirit and supporting a good cause. Check out some of the crazy hair that showed up on Friday!
GRE ROCKS!
All students and staff decorated rocks for our school garden as a way to show our school pride. The rocks demonstrate students' creativity and passions. Click here to see a few samples.
