Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 973

The Pathway to Success grant has been motivational and exciting for character education this school year. Students and their family were invited to two different family events where they could paint an inspirational rock for our pathway at Golden Gate Elementary School.  We also designated one of our staff meeting times for all staff to paint a rock with their positive or inspirational message or picture.  This grant has allowed students, families, and our staff a chance to leave their legacy or message for all to see. It was a wonderful feel good experience and brought about joy and great messages to keep and admire each day on our path.  This Character education project has encouraged kindness and positivity amongst an entire school community!  This project will be ongoing over the next school year to enlarge the pathway and continue to build strong positive messages to our school environment. Thank you so much for funding this project!
