Goshen School is so excited to bring the NOVA program to our sixth graders! The NOVA program is based on the principles of Nurturing Opportunities, Values and Accountability. It is presented by local law enforcement, and we are lucky to have Deputy Taylor from the Utah County Sheriff's Office teaching our students how to Illuminate the Path to Excellence. The NOVA program will be held every Friday afternoon until December, when the students will have a special NOVA Graduation to acknowledge their excellence in the program.
A HUGE thanks goes out to all of the grandparents that came and read to their grandchildren last week. The kids enjoyed having some special time to sit and listen to their grandparents read them a story, and have a special treat with them. It was a fun time, and the kids loved it! Thanks to the PTA for funding Grandparent's Day!
We would like to officially introduce our Mascot, Spirit the Falcon, to our school! We had a contest to name him, and the school picked the name Spirit, which is the perfect name for our school mascot!

The Falcons at Goshen Elementary had a GREAT first week, last week! Among the festivites were the Annual Flag Raising ceremony done by Mrs. DeGraffenried and Mrs. Openshaw's 6th grade class. The students had fun getting to know their new teachers, and we had a hot dog roast during Back to School Night. We, at Goshen School, are SO excited and are looking forward to a GREAT year!
