Last week the students were rewarded for their at home reading by attending a reading carnival held in the gym.  Throughout the first semester, they were given tickets when they completed their mandatory reading minutes every week.  They were able to take these tickets and use them to buy books, school supplies and they were able to play games and win prizes with them.  Fun was had by all.  We will be having another carnival in the spring before school is out, so please make sure your students are handing in their reading minutes every week to earn those tickets!

We have a great opportunity to be visited by a local teenage author, McKenzie Wagner.  She is only 15 years old and already has 4 published novels.  She will be visiting our school on Friday (Jan. 29) and will be visiting with our 4th, 5th, and 6th grade sudents about herself and her writing.  We are so excited to meet her and hear about her successes.  Each teacher has copies of her books if you or your student would like to read them.

A huge congratulations goes out to Mrs. Openshaw.  She submitted a grant to the Nebo Foundation for new books for our Spanish students and received $228 to go towards novels in Spanish for our older kids.  Thank you Mrs. Openshaw for caring for Goshen students!

A huge congratulations goes out to Mrs. Burningham!  She submitted a grant to the Nebo Foundation for some Chromebooks for her second graders and received $600.  This is an awesome opportunity for her students to reveive some much needed technology in her classroom.  Thank you Mrs. Burningham for caring for your students!

Congratulations to our December Students of the Month!  They were given the award for being caring to other students.  Thank you for being such great role models in our school!
