Update on 2016-2017 Calendar 
Legend feeder will no longer explore the proposed Conventional Calendar - Thanksgiving Week Off option for 2016-2017.  District administration reviewed the policy for a calendar change and determined that because all schools did not received above a 60% vote in favor of the proposed calendar change we do not have enough support to move forward.  They were also concerned about families that made travel arrangements for next year based on the existing calendar.  Thank you for providing your input in this decision! It was greatly appreciated!

Patti Magby
Libby, Kristi, Jenny and office staff met with Patti Magby, Jenny's maternity leave sub, last Friday.  Patti is excited to spend 2-3 days each week at Gold Rush.  She reassured us all that she is here to support our existing work.  Our school will host a welcome breakfast for her on Monday, November 16, at 8:15-8:45 in the lounge.
