A HUGE thanks goes out to our awesome PTA that threw a great Teacher Appreciation week for our school last week. It started out on Monday morning with a yummy breakfast of fruit and muffins. It continued to Tuesday where we had a fiesta for lunch, where the PTA provided the staff with tacos for lunch. On Wednesday they provided us with a drink bar where we could mix our favorite sodas to get us through the afternoon. On Thursday we were treated with delicious cookies and Friday they capped it off with a popcorn and treat bar where we all got our fill of our favorite candy.

Next week, Goshen Elementary will be celebrating College and Career Week. We will be having dress up days throughout the week. Please see the attached flier for more information.

Next year (2022-2023 school year), breakfast and lunch will no longer be free for every student. Below, you will find information from a press release from the Utah State Board of Education about a new program to help families that may NOT be eligible for free or reduced meals but may need help to buy food for their kids' lunches. In order to even qualify for this new program (called P-EBT) you MUST apply for free or reduced lunch NOT LATER THAN MAY 6th.  

This week is Health & Safety Week at Goshen School, and we had an awesome opportunity to meet one of Utah County's K-9 officers, Chaos and his handler, Deputy Provstgaard. Mr. Atkin was able to meet Chaos up close and personal though, by donning the bite suit and sacrificing his arm for our entertainment (no worries...his arm was a little red afterwards, but otherwise fine). He was a great sport, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. 

Earth Day was April 22nd and the kindergarten classes did such a great job picking up the entire kindergarten playground.  We gathered about 20 grocery bags full of garbage that had blown by the fence and into the playground.  Way to go Goshen kindergarten!
