Each year Goshen students are asked to complete a summer packet.  The summer packet includes writing, math, and reading activities.  Those students that finish it get to go to the Summer Packet Extravaganza at the beginning of the next school year.  This year students had fun running around while eating snow cones, going on a slip and slide, winning cupcakes at the cake walk, and lots of other exciting activities. 

The old bell at Goshen Elementary could be heard through town on the first day of school this year.  The school met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) on their end of the year tests last spring and celebrated by having each student ring the bell.  Goshen is looking forward to a great year of teaching and learning.

The fifth and sixth grade students at Goshen Elementary just finished their keyboarding classes.  The class was taught by Mr. Randy Bartholomew who had the students working toward goals this year.  Students were given candy, money, and gift cards based on the levels they reached in keyboarding.  The high scoring student, who reached Level 12 being able to type 80 words per minute, is Sidney Burrell.

The South Nebo Elementary PTA Council for their monthly visit came to Goshen Elementary.  The fourth graders performed some songs on their recorders.  They were directed by the music teacher, Mrs. Valerie Corlett who has been teaching them how to play a recorder this year.

The fourth graders at Goshen Elementary went to the Children's Discovery Garden at Thanksgiving Point to explore what they have learned in science this year.  Students watched an experiment on how heat and pressure can change the form of a rock.  They also walked around and identified different rocks and animals in Utah.  Pictured are students in Mrs. Samantha Peckham's class as they created an animal that could adapt to the habitat and climate on a fictional planet they were given.
