It was certainly a "golden moment" for a group of Daniel Island School 7th graders last Thursday. U.S. Olympic athlete Ashley Caldwell, fresh from her serial skiing competition at the Vancouver Olympic Games, stopped in to visit with students and share stories from her experience in the global sporting event. Caldwell's family lives on Daniel Island. Her sister Jordan, pictured at her left in the photo, is a student at the school. Ashley later attended the school's PTA meeting to watch her younger sister perform in a fashion show.

Fresh off a successful Olympic appearance, 16-year old U.S. Aerial freestyle skier Ashley Caldwell returned to Daniel Island last week to spend time with family, which included a visit to her sister’s class at the Daniel Island School.
"I did much better than I expected," said Caldwell. After not even being on the U.S. Olympic squad at the beginning of the year, Caldwell made the Olympic finals and finished in 10th place among 23 competitors.
