Goldsmith Elementary School families,

It's hard to believe that Back-to-School season is already here! During the last few weeks of summer break, there are many great community events that will be providing FREE school supplies, backpacks, health screenings, haircuts, and more! We encourage you to take advantage of these amazing opportunities to help your child get school ready! Event flyers and information are attached to this post.

The event at Hikes Point Christian Church on August 1st (8:30-10:30am) is a great option for our Goldsmith families, as it is right in our neighborhood!

We hope you enjoy your last few weeks of summer break and look forward to welcoming all of you back to school on August 6th!
