What We Do

Programs & Fundraisers

Accelerated Reader

Golden PTA provides funding for this critical program which allows teacher’s to track student reading progress while providing incentives to students. PTA organizes and distributes incentives such as gift certificates to local stores, pencils, and provides an end of the year party for students that have reached 100% of their reading goal.

Reflections

PTA’s Reflections program encourages students to explore and be involved in the arts. Students submit an original piece, inspired by the annual theme, in any of the following areas: dance choreography, film production, literature, film composition, photography, and/or visual arts. Volunteers host an art night and organize and distribute awards.

Walking Program

To encourage healthy lifestyles for our students, Golden PTA volunteers before school each day to encourage children to walk. Volunteers keep track of miles of individuals, classes, and grade levels. Rewards for walkers are provided at Student of the Month assemblies including checking off 5, 10, 15, and 20 miles on their walking shirts! Volunteers are always needed- sporatic or regular volunteering available.

Yearbook

Golden PTA volunteers take pictures of classrooms and submit them for publishing to create a book of memories for students. Additionally, they organize the purchase of fifth grade dedication pages and yearbook purchases for the whole school.

Student Store

At the Student Store, students can purchase Golden Spirit Wear & Earthquake kit.

Caught You Reading!

Caught You Reading is a year-round program to promote the fun of reading books. Every time a staff member catches student reading a book (other than when students are told to read) Students are given a reading ticket. The more students read, the more likely they are to “get caught”, and the more opportunity to gain raffle tickets for a prize drawing. 

Scholastic Book Fair

Bringing books to students is a fundraiser Golden PTA loves to do twice a year in October (Fall Festival) and May (Open House). Each book fair is a week long and requires volunteer support to manage the store. See our Get Involved page to sign up for volunteer opportunities.

Reindeer Lane

At Reindeer Lane, families can enjoy many fun activities such as building gingerbread houses, picking up Christmas tree orders, and doing other arts and crafts. Golden PTA volunteers organize the event and operate it. To assist in this fun event, visit the Get Involved page for volunteer opportunities.

Other Fundraisers

Throughout the year, Golden PTA holds small fundraisers with local vendors and fundraising days where local vendors give a percentage of their sales back to the school. Look for notices coming home for when these events occur!

Kindergarten & TK

To welcome TK to school, Golden PTA purchases spirit shirts as gifts at Back-to-School Night. At the end of the year, PTA arranges cake and juice for kindergarteners celebration of growth.

Fifth Grade

Golden PTA purchases dedication shirts and assists in funding the end-of-the-year party to celebrate our fifth graders accomplishment of successfully finishing elementary school and promoting to sixth grade.
