Dear Families,
As we step into another exciting week of learning in the first week of March, I wanted to send out the Principal's Update for the month that highlights all of the great events and important dates that you will not want to miss. Tomorrow morning, our 3rd & 4th Graders will be participating and taking the math benchmark test. Please make sure to get your student to bed early and ensure they eat a good breakfast to show all that they know on the test.
Tomorrow evening, we will be opening our doors for Open House. We hope to see you all there! Lastly, we will wrap up the week with the #BestDayEver! This event is the celebration for our spring GCES PTA Fundraiser. All students will have the opportunity to participate. On this day, all of Goshen will have the chance to jump into dental hygiene with Dr. Ballard and learn from a local book author during rotation. Together, we are making each moment count at GCES!
We hope that you have a great week this week and a wonderful time in the week ahead to rest, rejuvenate, and enjoy a break with your family. We look forward to welcoming you back to campus on Monday, March 17th, 2025. As always, my door is open, and I am here to help serve our students, staff, and community.
Thank you for your continued support!
Wendy Ashley, Goshen Creek Elementary Principal
