William Matheny found out in a good way some of the hidden benefits of eating breakfast at school.  Everyone knows about the nutrition and satisfaction in a good breakfast, but few people know that you could also win a bicycle.  William, who is a kindergarten student at Goshen Elementary School, ate breakfast at school every day during the annual National School Breakfast Week, celebrated during the week of March 12-15 at the school.  His name was entered into the drawing each day for a brand new bicycle furnished  by the Child Nutrition Program at the district.&

For the month of February Goshen Elementary students were challenged to "click-it" and wear their seat belts whenever they were in a car.  Each day they marked off a card if they wore their seat belts.  At the end of the month students were awarded for wearing seat belts during the school's health and safety week.  Students also got to experience what it would feel like to get in a wreck going five miles an hour wearing a seat belt.  Pictured is Vanessa Sandoval and Lita Matheny on the Click-it Trailer as they crashed into each other.

Brent Boswell, the author of Big! Mean! Pig! and Mission Invisible visited Goshen Elementary and talked to the students about reading for information and fun.  He played a game where he showed pictures and asked if the picture was real or not real.  He told the students they could find all the answers by reading, just like he had done.  Mr. Boswell encouraged students to become better readers by reading more and more.
