Auburn Gresham GOLD Initiative
In partnership with other local organizations, GAGDC is excited to ensure that AG GOLD impacts regional schools.
GAGDC is focused on implementation, outreach, planning, and fundraising to bring AG GOLD to life. The plan is a detailed 3-5 year strategy of the goals & interventions, target schools and anticipated outcomes the community feels must be addressed to unite schools, families and community partners across the Auburn Gresham community to help all students succeed. Auburn Gresham Gold's phase one initial focus is a two-generation improvement plan targeting K-3rd grade academics and economic and social support to parents and families., The five elementary school partners include Clara Barton Elementary School, John W. Cook Academy, Scott Joplin Elementary School, Richard J. Oglesby and Westcott Elementary School.
We're confident that AG GOLD will create a positive impact on our community's education system. By working together, we can make a real difference in the lives of our children.
Stay tuned for updates on our AG GOLD initiative, and join us in making our community a better place for everyone.
