The Gooch Gator Gazette

Dear Gooch Families,

What an incredible week we’ve had! From wonderful parent conferences to Red Ribbon Week, Principal for a Day, Friday classroom parties, and our amazing Fall Carnival, it has been a joy to share these events with our community.

Thank you to everyone who came out to make the carnival such a fun and successful night! It was heartwarming to see so many smiling faces, and we absolutely loved hearing how much fun your families had. We are so grateful for your continued support, enthusiasm, and partnership in making these events so special for our students.

Lastly, please keep our wonderful Ms. Chinn in your thoughts. She experienced an injury this week, but we are so thankful that she is doing well and on the road to recovery.

Thank you for being such an amazing school community!
