We were ablet to have a Principal's 200 Club meeting this week. The students are able to earn rewards, and the chance to be put into a drawing for a special activity with Mrs. DeGraffenried for doing good things around school. This week the Club met and made Graham Cracker Gingerbread Houses. They sure turned out cute! A "Good Job" goes out to all of those students that received the Principal's 200 Award! Keep up the good work!
The Ambassadors of the month for November were honored in an assembly last week. They were chosen for having good Organization. During the assembly, the second grade entertained us a song they learned for their Veteran's Day Program. Congratulations to all of those students that excelled in November! Keep up the good work!

The parents of our fourth graders came today, to read their favorite book to their children and friends. We had a great turn out, and would like to thank the parents who could attend. It means a lot to the kids, and they have fun listening to others read.
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!
