DIGGER DASH THIS FRIDAY
The Digger Dash is just days away, and we can’t wait to see our students lace up their running shoes on Friday, September 5th! This annual event brings together fitness, fun, and school spirit—all while raising funds for a brand-new school marquee. This colorful sign will allow us to highlight student achievements and share upcoming events with the entire Gold Rush community.
