Our 8th graders and Kindergarten graduates are ready for their next steps in their educational journeys.
From first days to new beginnings, this week we celebrate growth, achievement, and the bright future ahead for our school community at Goudy Technology Academy.
We invite our families and community members to stay connected and continue supporting our students by joining the Friends of Goudy group.

Last week we saw the power of community in action. Local artist and Goudy parent, Erik Peterson, led a library session to present his illustrated book to a room full of students. The energy, curiosity, and excitement from the kids reminded us how impactful these moments can be.

Experiences like this go beyond storytelling. They inspire literacy, creativity, and confidence while showing students that authors, ideas, and imagination are all within their reach.
Parent-led initiatives like this are not just “nice to have,” they are essential. When families bring their talents and passions into schools, they help build richer learning environments and stronger connections between students, educators, and the broader community.

Let’s continue to create space for more moments like this in our beautiful Goudy Technology Academy school library where reading comes alive and every child feels inspired to learn, create, and dream.
A big thank you to our on-site librarian Mrs. Ruiz for creating such a welcoming space! ✨

We are so grateful to Haibayô and Qideas for bringing the Fest to life! It was such a vibrant celebration of culture, community, and connection, and we were honored to be part of it with our native seed planting activity. 🌱

Thank you for creating a space where neighbors, families, and organizations could come together, share stories, and uplift one another. Events like this truly reflect the strength and beauty of our community. We loved meeting so many wonderful people and are inspired by the energy and collaboration that filled the day. Looking forward to many more moments like this together!

We are incredibly proud of the amazing cast, crew, and rock band of “Shrek The Musical” for putting on such a fun and unforgettable school production. Seeing our students bring Far Far Away to life was pure magic! 🪄✨

Thank you to our amazing community members whose generosity helped fund the props and costumes—your support truly makes these moments possible.

A special shoutout to our FOG President, Heather, for sewing so many of the costumes! Your talent and dedication helped bring the characters to life.

And bravo to Goudy Technology Academy teachers Ms. Gallagher, Ms. Fattelah, Ms. Rodda, and Mr. Sviokla for creating such a fantastic show! 👏 🙌
