March 2014

The closing assembly welcomed two K9's to demonstrate how police dogs help save lives. Dogs are more agile and are less fearful than humans. There are many types of dogs used in police work. Some are used for their sniffing ability, some have incredible jaw strength, and they all love to protect their human. It was nice to learn not only how we can stay safe this week but also learn about our community helpers.

Deputy Tindle demonstrates the importance of wearing a seatbelt when riding in a car. Even when the car is going very slow, the whiplash upon impact is serious. The students enjoyed the simulation. Thanks for another important lesson this week!

Day two of Health & Safety Week, Goshen Elementary gets a visit from the Life Flight Helicopter. Everyone enjoyed learning how this helicopter helps save lives.

An opening assembly presented by Mrs. Savage teaches the importance of exercise, eating healthy, wearing seat belts and helmets, and a few other important tips. There were some great prizes given away. The enthusiasm is high this week as students continue to practice good habits.

Many students showed their love of Dr. Seuss characters by dressing up today! There were some Star Bellied Sneetches, the Lorax, several Thing 1 and Thing 2's, Mr. Brown, a few Cats in The Hat, and others!

The kindergarteners drove across America studying symbols and learning about our country. These students brought style and class throughout the school. Everyone looks forward to this day including the many parent volunteers. This year's Kindy 500 was definitely another success!
