Our Amazing Students& Parents >>> Austin Beebe-GOAL Ventures Leadership Student “...something that makes GOAL so special; each student is cared about, listened to and special. Teachers and coaches partici ate, p listen and know when to talk. Each moment has encouraged me to be strong leader, to be like these coaches. I also know that it is of the highest importance to be an equal. Never thinking lesser of someone else; always finding something to do to put others ahead of yourself. It means so much. I can’t wait to help others alongside some of the most awesome students in our world! Jessie Madsen Harmon, GOAL Academy Parent, Craig ,Colorado I love that the ladies here are very on top of the kids education and that they actually communicate with parents over their children's education. Thanks so much Annette, Desiree Moore, Stacy Stevens, Nikki Frederickson, & Jessica for helping make it possible.. Jaclyn Dolin, 2011 GOAL Academy Alumna I graduated two years ago and one thing I learned is that the La Junta office has some of the most amazing and dedicated staff. The teachers I had are still involved in not only my life, but my daughter’s as well. They are incredible there. I can never say thank you enough to them for pushing me to graduate. They were & still are one of my main support systems. GOAL Academy is now an official non-profit recipient of AMAZON SMILE GIVING! So, what is Amazon Smile Giving?
