A Trip Down Goshen Lane

👉 There is no school for students Thursday, Oct. 2nd or Friday, Oct. 3rd. 👈

Enjoy this long 4 day weekend at home with family and friends!

We had our first Town Hall celebrations this week when grade levels were brought together in the gymnasium to give class shout outs from the teachers, recognize students who had perfect attendance in the last month, and draw Golden Opportunity tickets. Students earn Golden Tickets all month long by going above and beyond in being safe, helpful, and caring!

Parents, thank you for partnering with us to be caring neighbors to the homes around Goshen Lane. Please be sure that cars parked on streets do not block driveways and obey all street signs.

Thank you ...

... to families for all of the participation over both Parent-Teacher Conference Nights. We had fantastic family attendance each night!

... to families for another night of the wonderful food and drinks provided to staff for tonight's Conference Night. We are blessed by our PTA and families for your support.... And, boy, can you COOK! 🥰

This Week's Questions Around the Dinner Table:

• What is your favorite kind of book to checkout on library days?
• What is your favorite activity or game you play in phys. ed. class?

Have a great LONG weekend.
