With the end of the first term at Goshen Elementary students earned some prizes including books, backpacks, and a bike from the Roads to Success program.  The program awards students for reading at home.  Each week students earn tickets to be put into a drawing at the end of each term.  The first bike of the year was given to Bridger Eastwood in Mrs. Norton's fourth grade class.  Keep up the reading students!

Everyone takes a good nutritious school lunch, served daily, for granted.  It's always just there, it seems.  Not so much last Wednesday during the massive power outage in the south part of the county.  Nebo School District's back-up plan was to just serve a snack of cold food on hand in the school's kitchen, if the power remained off, as was expected.  When the power came back on at 11:00, it was time to get lunch ready at Goshen Elementary School.  Goshen was back on "Plan A," which is to get a hot, well-balanced meal to the students for lunch.  Pictured is L

Fourth-grade students at Goshen Elementary had fun watching some of their classmates try to run breathing through a straw.  They saw what effects drugs can have on their bodies.  The students were excited to have BYU athletes who are part of "The Buff Don't Puff" come and visit their school to teach them about not doing drugs.  After the presentation students signed a poster agreeing to not use drugs.
