Dear Friend of Golden View Classical Academy,
We hope you will take a moment to read our September Monthly Newsletter to learn what we've been up to this month.
Here is an excerpt from Dr. Garrow's cover letter:
"...Given all of this, and given the moral urgency we feel in teaching students to read, we have a celebration at Golden View, one of our minor holidays. In January, students have moved from not recognizing letters to reading their own books for the first time. This is such an important milestone, because that whole fascinating world of the word is opened in a new way. They have the power to decipher it, to make meaning, to love stories, and to encounter the deepest thoughts of our civilization. So, we celebrate it with “If you give a kindergartener a book day,” where we read students our favorite children’s books, enjoy some cookies and milk, and congratulate them on their very first, personal encounter with the written word, in a tradition of education that will unfold for them over their time at Golden View."
