Golden View Classical Academy - Education for a Life Well-Lived

The topic for this month will be Grammar School math.

The House of Cicero will host the second Sentinel Games! Clue and Coin Runners will be held on Friday, February 3rd. Students will scour the school and race to find the clues, decipher the codes, and figure out who dunnit in our first running of live-action Clue. The gymnasium will house Coin Runners where Houses will compete on scooters to collect coins and dodge cannon fire. Food will be available for purchase so bring cash on the day of the event. Look for more upcoming information.

The 5th grade anchor feast "The Secret Garden Party", is our way of celebrating a magical book. The Secret Garden is a beautiful story about the transformation of two children, Mary and Colin, and a garden. And how without one, the other would remain lifeless and hopeless. What better way to celebrate the end of this story, then to "transform" our classrooms into a magical place and have a traditional English afternoon tea.

Specific Time TBD. Please reach out to the 5th-grade teachers for information about volunteering.

We are thrilled to announce our annual Grammar School Valentines Dance will be on Saturday, February 11th from 6:30-8:00pm. Tickets can be purchased for $15 online via Square (https://checkout.square.site/buy/XSTDYZI2ZQAGDY3MN5D654HJ) or at the front office. One ticket admits one parent or one grandparent and all of your students in Grammar School at GVCA. If you have multiple Grammar School students, both parents may attend with the purchase of an additional ticket. Space is limited to 200 tickets so please abide by these guidelines.

This a Grammar School "date" style event where, if possible, we encourage mothers to attend with their sons, and fathers with their daughters. The dress code is semi-formal, so boys should wear slacks and collared shirts, and girls should wear dresses and skirts.

We look forward to seeing you!

We are also requesting some volunteers to help out during the event. Please click here (https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040C4CAFAA2CA46-gvca) for opportunities. Thank you!

The Ides is one day per month, falling on the traditional Roman day of the 13th or 15th, that allows for a school reset, a return to order, and a reiteration of expectations. Grammar School students gather in the gym for a morning assembly, clean/tidy desk and room, and have a manners-focused lunch in line. Upper School students clean out and organize their lockers during study hall, under the supervision of the study hall teacher, and may wear House polos for points.

Upper School students are invited for an evening of films based on Shakespeare plays. Food will be served and films will vary based on grade level. Look out for more information on this event coming soon!

We would like to have about 5-10 parent volunteers to supervise and help out with food. To volunteer please contact Mrs. Gilmore at agilmore@goldenviewclassical.org. Thank you!
