Get those costumes ready and come prepared for an evening of fun, treats, and fall festivities!

Costume & Face Paint
If your student’s costume includes face or body paint and they plan to enjoy the bounce houses, please use washable, water-based paint. This will help us keep our inflatables clean and in great shape for everyone to enjoy!

We are still accepting **candy and non-candy donations!**

As a thank-you, for every bag of candy you donate, your name will be entered into a drawing to win a prize!

You are welcome to park at UMA (across the street) or Target

Dear Good Foundations Academy Community,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are excited to share that Mrs. Erwin has been recognized as the Charter School Director of the Year by the Utah Association of Public Charter Schools (UAPCS).

While this is a tremendous honor, it comes as no surprise to those who have the privilege of interacting with Mrs. Erwin. She pours her heart into this school and into the people who make up our community. Whether she is supporting students, encouraging teachers, or navigating the countless challenges that come with leading a school, she approaches it all with thoughtfulness and a genuine desire to do what is best for Good Foundations Academy.

Mrs. Erwin consistently goes above and beyond because she believes deeply in our mission and in the success of every student who walks through our doors. As a board, we have had the opportunity to see firsthand the impact she has on our school, and we know how deserving she is of this recognition.

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Erwin on this well-earned honor!

Sincerely,
The Good Foundations Academy Board of Directors
