Goshen Elementary third graders had a spelling bee sponsored by the Rotary Club. The students had fun memorizing words and competing to find the top three spellers. The Spelling Bee winners were:
First place: Jaeger Nelson
Second place: Hope Williams
Third place: Emily Sexton
The Kindergarten, first and second grades celebrated the 100th day of school. It was a fun day that included different math activities for counting to 100. The first grade students and teachers dressed up to look like they were 100 years old!
Students at Goshen Elementary were given a reading goal at the first of the school year to read at least 20 minutes a day. If they meet their weekly minutes goal, students are entered into a drawing for books and prizes. To go along with the rewards, some of the students had their names drawn for an opportunity to make a basket for money during an assembly. Students learned that it does PAY TO READ!
The Latinos In Action group from Payson High School came to Goshen Elementary to offer their help and support for our SEP Conference night. They did a great job with translations for our Spanish speaking parents and they also provided child care for anyone who was interested during this time.
The 4th grade students at Goshen School were able to attend a concert presented by The Utah Symphony under the direction of conductor Vladimir Kulenovic. Some of the musical selections were; Overture to William Tell, Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky, Music for the Royal Fireworks by Handel, Rite of Spring by Stravinsky and Finlandia by Sibelius. This experience provided an awareness of the different instruments and sounds through narration, demonstrations and guided listening.

On December 19, Goshen School held the annual Christmas Program, followed by our Christmas Books and Candy Canes activity. Each grade sang or performed a dance with actions to different songs from their favorite, Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer cartoon program. The program was a fun celebration for the students to practice and share with their families and community.
