Because of the generosity of the families in our school, our 4th graders were able to take a bus load of donations to the South Utah Valley Animal Shelter, and visit with the animals that are sheltered there. They had a lot of fun learning about what happens at the shelter, and helping those animals there. Thank you SO MUCH!
Did you know that Goshen School has an art gallery? It is located in the front lobby of the school. Each month, a different grade will be in charge of providing student work to display in our gallery. This month, the 5th grade students did some spooky/fall art work for October. Mrs. Haines' class painted pumpkins using water colors, and Mrs. Openshaw's class had Mr. Atkin come and paint snakes with them, using water color. They also made haunted houses using mixed media.
Meet Ms. Adams! She is one of our awesome 3rd grade teachers here at Goshen School. Ms. Adams has been at our school for six years. Her first year here, she taught 4th grade, and has taught 3rd grade the rest of the time.
Ms. Adams has an older sister and a younger brother and she has three nieces and two nephews, who she loves SO MUCH! She loves hanging out with her family and friends, going to the movies and going on walks.
Two interesting things about Ms. Adams is that she is left handed and has never had a broken bone!
This week is Fall Break, so there will be NO SCHOOL on Thursday or Friday. Enjoy your long weekend!
Meet Mrs. Haines, one of our 5th grade teachers! This is her third year teaching at Goshen School, and she says that she LOVES it! She and her husband just built a home in Santaquin. She said she is blessed to have the most supportive husband, Peter. He is in his final semester of school to become a journeyman plumber. They also just welcomed their baby girl, Emery, a year ago. Mrs. Haines says that Emery is the most feisty/stubborn thing you'll ever meet.
The 4th graders a Goshen Elementary are doing a donation drive for S.U.V.A.S Animal Shelter. We are accepting donations October 4th - 13th. Both classes will then take a field trip to the Animal Shelter to present the donations gathered to the animals being housed there.
The following are items that are currently needed at the shelter:
Meet Mr. Atkin. He is our new principal here at Goshen School. He has been with us for a short 3 months, and has been working on learning all of the kids' names. He is hoping to know everyone by Thanksgiving (he is doing a GREAT job!) He lives in Payson with his beautiful wife and 5 kids. According to Mr. Atkin, they are all kind of nerdy, just like him.
Ms. Bradley is our Resource teacher here at Goshen School, and his is her second year teaching here. She lives in Springville with her two sons Nicholas, 21 and Donnie, 25.
In her spare time, she likes to do genealogy, reading and just spending time with her family. One fun fact about Ms. Bradley is that she weighed 13 lbs. 10 oz. when she was born and jokes that that's the reason she is the youngest in her family!
This is Mrs. Norton. She is one of our 4th grade teachers, and has worked at Goshen School for 13 years. She lives in Goshen with her husband and her two daughters. She has been married to her husband Tyler for going on 15 years. They have two beautiful daughters, Hadlee age 9 and Cierra age 6.
