Gold Rush is thrilled to partner with our incredible PTO to ensure that every grade level has the opportunity to take a field trip this year! We know field trips are a vital part of a child’s early educational experience. Students’ excitement and curiosity as they explore the world beyond the classroom also makes these moments truly special.
In past years, Gold Rush was only able to subsidize field trips for fourth and fifth graders due to the high cost of outside transportation. As you may know, the District is limited to using school buses only for transportation to and from school, which requires schools to contract with outside bus services for field trips—an expense that adds up quickly.
This year, thanks to the support and partnership of our PTO, students in all grade levels will enjoy learning experiences outside the building.
Kindergartners kicked off the season with a visit to a pumpkin patch in Lone Tree Friday! They were thrilled to see their science standards on weather and the seasons come to life—and of course, riding the bus was a highlight of the day!
Second graders will head to the Science and Nature Museum later this month, where they will explore hands-on exhibits and make exciting scientific connections.
Fourth graders are preparing for their big trip to Young Ameritown in December, where they’ll learn about economics, teamwork, and community in an engaging, real-world environment.
First & Third graders are looking forward to field trips this spring.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the PTO for making these experiences possible and to our wonderful parent volunteers who help make each trip a success. Together, we are building lasting memories and inspiring a lifelong love of learning for our students!
