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!
Congratulations to all of the participants and winners of this year's Education Fair! The judges were so impressed by all of the hard work that our students put into their projects this year!
Mrs. Mitchell was chosen as Teacher of the Year for our school this year. Mrs. Mitchell is a fun-loving, happy teacher. She is industrious, reliable, punctual, and hard-working. Marie does everything to help her students learn and feel loved. She exemplifies integrity, kindness, and commitment. Each student thinks they are her favorite. We have been so lucky to have Mrs. Mitchell be a member of our Goshen Family! Congratulations Mrs. Mitchell!
The kindergarten classes had a great day learning about our National and State symbols as they “traveled” across the country to visit important historical structures and learn about some past influential people. As they “visited” each place, they received a sticker for their Passport. They even got to eat hotdogs (because “What’s more American than hotdogs?”)

March 2nd is Read Across America Day, and in celebration, Mr. Atkin read one of his favorite books for the kids to watch. Please watch how a cat sits in a chair...
In second grade we read the story "Gloria Who Might Be My Best Friend." In the story Gloria and Julian build kites with wishes attached to the tail of the kite. Mrs. Larson's students had a great time making and flying their own kites with wishes included!
