MANY REASONS & WAYS TO GIVE THANKS!
There are many reasons and ways to give thanks at Gold Rush. Many students brought in a donation and wore a hat on Friday to raise money for Denver Rescue Mission's Turkey drive. We will continue our Thanksgiving food drive for the Parker Task Force throughout next week. This food drive is in addition to our ongoing No Waste Initiative we started on September 5th. I am proud to report that students have donated over 1700 prepackaged food items that would have otherwise been thrown away!
Gold Rush will also celebrate Veteran's Day on Monday, November 13. Students will write cards a create a school care package for those currently serving in the military. If you are interested in donating any of the items shown below please feel free to send them in all next week.

STUDENTS REFLECT IN ART
Students created drawings that showcased mirror images. We were impressed with their creativity!
THINKING DEEPLY IN MATH
Over 60 fourth and fifth graders are currently participating in our before school Math Olympiad program. Math Olympiad fosters a love for math by engaging students in a national math competition. This is an opportunity for students to problem solve and think critically. Students complete challenging math problems both independently and in collaborative groups. They are excited to share their divergent thinking and strategies. We are proud of all the children who are currently participating, and we thank Mrs. Barta and Mrs. Anderson for facilitating this extra curricular opportunity.SHOUT OUT FROM EVEREST
One of our student's parents recognized Gold Rush at the top of Mount Everest!
