Because we have so many new faculty members this year, we are going to spotlight one faculty member each week.  This week's teacher is Brittiany Thornton.  She is our 1/2 Day Kindergarten Teacher, and this is her first year teaching.  Before she became a teacher here, she did a lot of subbing for the school district.  She also did her student teaching at Santaquin Elementary.  She says that her favorite thing about working at Goshen Elementary is seeing the kids everyday.  

Here are a few interesting facts about Ms. Thornton:

For the students of Goshen Elementary, lunch is a favorite time of day!  One of the reasons why is because they get to see Debbie Hudson.  She has been the lunch clerk at our school for 18 years, and she received the PEAK award for our school this year.  PEAK awards are given to Positive Energy and Kind employees. PEAK Awards are nominated by patrons and recognized by the Superintendent Staff and Nebo School Board of Education.  Faculty and staff members are nominated by anyone in the community through the Nebo School District website.

We are having a contest between all of the classes to see who "likes" our Facebook page the most.  Your child will be bringing home a contest page to record how many of your family members "like" Goshen's Facebook page.  This is a great time to get any family members involved that might be interested in keeping up with what is happening at school, including grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.  All you have to do is tally up those in your circle that has "LIKED" our page and put that number in the box.
