At Goshen Elementary the Crystal Apple Award was given to Patsy Barlow for all her hard work and dedication to teaching.  Patsy has been teaching for about 25 years.  Her first teaching assignment was in kindergarten at Franklin Elementary in Provo School District.  Patsy quit teaching when her first son was born, but returned when her children were old enough to go to school.  She is now currently working at Goshen Elementary teaching full day kindergarten.  She finds it rewarding to see how much progress each student can make.

Fourth graders, Natalie Spencer and Terrel Jasperson, are acting like super heroes as they help the presenters from The Living Planet Aquarium show students where water is found on the earth.   Students learned all about the water cycle and how water is used in Utah through visual models, learning vocabulary words through movements, and answering questions.  The students enjoyed having The Living Planet Aquarium presenters come to Goshen and share all their fun educational information!

Devin Johnson is taking his "victory lap' after winning this beautiful, new bicycle for reading in Ken Garff's Road to Success program. Devin is a fifth grade student in Mr. Travis Proctor's class at Goshen Elementary School and is a voracious reader. It is this reading that helped him win the new bike, which was the top prize in the first term's reading contest drawing.

During a presentation at Goshen Elementary, fourth graders learned a little bit about some of the Indian tribes that once lived in Utah.  They learned some history and were excited to know that the presenters were real Indians.  Students saw some of the clothing and things that were used by the Native American tribes.  Students are now excited to learn more about the history of Utah. Pictured are the students learning hand signs that were used to help the tribes communicate with one another.
