Principal’s Hello
Hey, everyone! I hope you had an awesome week and will have some good family time together this weekend.
In a half hour, we’re starting our assembly to introduce our Sparrow, Enzo. We are fundraising this year to help Enzo and his family with their medical bills. Sparrow Clubs create community partnerships where kids help other kids in need. They’ve raised more than $7M and supported more than 1,400 kiddos over the years.
We’re proud to be a part of this program and feel that it speaks to our school mission of helping to cultivate engaged citizens.
Take care, everyone.
Sean
UPDATE: Golden Eagle Early Morning Gym
We will not be hosting Morning Gym next week due to lack of coverage on Tuesday, 1/31 and school not being in session on Thursday, 2/2.
Words of gratitude! We appreciate all drivers for keeping it slow and safe, efficient and friendly in our parking lot, and at the red curb during drop-off and pick-up. Thanks for pulling up a far as possible before your students exit or enter your vehicle. As well as stopping and giving pedestrians the right-of-way.
Attendance Reporting Reminder
If you need to report your student as late, absent or leaving school early, please call the Attendance line directly at (541) 355-7820 to leave a message OR you can email [email protected]. Note that voicemails are checked every 5 minutes. Also, please give the attendance office at least a 1/2 hour notice whenever possible when needing to pull your student out of school early for the day or for an appointment. Make it simple by adding the above phone number to your phone contacts.
Sparrow Enzo is in the House!
Golden Eagles had the pleasure of meeting Enzo, his family and hearing his story at our Sparrow assembly today. Sometime this weekend, take a few moments to ask your children to share what they experienced and how they can help support him and his family in partnership with several community businesses over the next several months. Some upcoming fundraising includes Valentine’s dance, Val-o-Grams sales and Lucky for Enzo Pot of Gold coin collection. A dedicated email will be sent out to our community early this week with more info.
Upcoming Valentine’s Day Dance
Our WEB Leaders, in partnership with PCCO, will be hosting our second dance/social on Friday, February 10 from 4:00 – 6:00 PM which benefits our Sparrow, Enzo. We thank everyone who contributed to the success of our last dance by donating items and/or giving your time to set-up, supervise and clean-up. For those who would like to contribute to this dance, please look for an email early this coming week with more information.
