My students love your weblinks! Thanks for keeping it all alive. I can tell that Gold Ridge was (and still is)...... EPIC!

I love this website. I have a 1st grader that I think this website will help a bunch especially with the Addition Facts. I have my child enrolled with a virtual public school and I thank God for websites like this one. We used your letter people worksheets when I was teaching him preschool and he loved coloring them, now my little girl will enjoy them as well. Thank You!!

Gold Ridge is a cool school.

Gold Ridge. It was COSMIC. It was the most fantastic place to learn and have fun at the same time. I can't believe the BEST school ever is gone. Thanks for the pictures at least we have this to remember the good times.

The art and music games are really good. Our school had to get rid of music so I like playing all the music games. I like the record scratch alot.

I hope this web site doesn't close. My whole class goes on it at labtime and free time. I use it for homework. Don't close it please.

I went to Gold Ridge 14 years ago. Although I attended for only 2 years, it was the only school I felt connected and involved. They taught me more than reading and writing. They taught me skills about life that I took with me and still use. Looking at the photos reminded me that I also had great fun learning. Thanks for keeping Gold Ridge unforgotten, I will certainly not forget it.

-Stephen, USAF

Me too but I wish I went to Gold Ridge

I never went, but it is #1.

They were dumb to close Gold Ridge. Can you come to Florida?

- Jamie P

When I go on the pages and see the school background pictures it makes me feel like I'm back at Goldridge. Its a good thing you did that because now the school is torn down. I have saved a bunch of pictures from the picture page in case they close goldridge08.

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE GOLD RIDGE SPIRIT ALIVE. THIS IS NICE~ especially with all that OUR KIDS, TEACHERS & PARENTS have had to take on these past 2 years (2008 & 2009).

I love gold ridge sooooo much!

Gold Ridge was an amazing school for numerous years! The Walk-A-Thon events were outstanding, the assemblys were fun and i have an overall wonderfull experience! It is extremely sad to see that no longer will other children be able to have the same fantastic experience as mine, and i will miss it deeply.

- Amanda

Gold Ridge was the best elemtary school I have ever been to! The people there were absolutely amazing! The thing that I loved best about Gold Ridge was that we were all one big family. I am now at Hahn and most of my friends went to Evergreen, but we are still a family! I will see you at Creekside people at Evergreen who used to go to Gold Ridge! Luv ya!

- Caitlin

Wow, hard to believe it's gone. I was a student there from the very beginning after it opened. I loved that school and have alot of memories within those walls and that playground.

- James Nessen     nessenj@jimsoffice.org

I will always remember the students, parents, staff and community that was Gold Ridge.  I compare my experiences at Gold Ridge to a block party on a cul-de-sac that never ended (people helping, kids learning and having fun, good food, safe environment).  Gold Ridge will ALWAYS be in my heart :)

I agree with Jennifer.  This site cheers me up!  I know it's your baby so you'll take good care of it.  Thanks!

- Deanna McKenzie

My children have beautiful memories and made wonderful friendships within the walls of Goldridge.  When our family was new to the area, the kindness and generousity of the teachers, staff and families within the "Goldridge family" were so comforting. We have all been so fortunate to be a part of this incredible institution and I am proud to know that my children got to be a part of this "family". To the people that made Goldridge what is was, thank you, for enriching my family's lives.  You will be forever in our hearts!
