Turkey Gobble and Strut Assembly

Submitted by krista.openshaw on Mon, 11/21/2016 - 15:03

Today we had our annual Turkey Gobble and Strut assembly at school.  Two students from each class were voted to represent a gobbler and a strutter, and then competed against each other during the assembly.  We have some great turkeys roaming the halls at Goshen Elementary, but this year, the winners were Ira Palfreyman from Ms. Adam's Fourth Grade class, who won the strutting contest, and Owen Cottle from Mr. Proctor's Fifth Grade class, who won the gobble contest.  Congratulations to these two boys, and good job to all of our participants!

We would like to thank the second and sixth grade classes for the great Veteran's Day Assembly that they performed on Friday.  They presented the assembly for the student body on Friday morning, and then invited their parents and the Veteran's in our community to come enjoy the program on Friday night.  It was well attended, and there were many tears shed as they paid tribute to those that have, and still do, fight for our country.  Many of our favorite patriotic songs were sung, along with a few new favorites.

It's that time again!  Fourth Grade's Parents and Pastries will be held next Monday, November 21st at 1:45 pm in the library.  If you have a 4th grader, you are invited to bring your favorite picture book (or a chapter from your favorite novel) to read to a group of students.  Watch for a reminder to come home later this week.  We love having parents read to our students!  It shows them how important reading is, and that it can be fun!

Goshen School's First Graders made shirts that they get to wear on Zero Hero Day, which is every tenth day of school.  Remember, if you have a first grader, remember to send them to school in their Zero Hero shirts on Zero Hero Day!  (Look for reminders on your student's weekly newsletter!)

Goshen School's second and sixth grades are proud to present their Veteran's Day Program.  They will be performing two times on Friday, November 11th.  They will perform for the students of the school at 9:30 am, and then again that evening for their parents and the public at 6:30 at the school.  They would like to extend an invitation for everyone, to come see what they have worked so hard to put together.  If you or a loved one is a memeber of the military, either active duty, or retired, they would like to honor you that night.

Halloween Carnival a "SCREAMING" Success

Submitted by krista.openshaw on Tue, 11/01/2016 - 14:25

Goshen Elementary would like to give a huge thanks to the PTA for organizing a successful Halloween Carnival this year!  After dinner, which consisted of sloppy joes, chips and drinks, the students were able to play games for fun Halloween prizes, have their picture taken at the photo booth, and walk through the spook alley.  Throughout the night, prizes were given to students who entered the jack-o-lantern contest, the bottle decorating contest and the costume contest.
