Message from the Principal
October 30, 2009
Dear Goforth Families and Friends,
The days seem to be getting cooler and shorter! Our students are working hard to make connections between what they already know and what they are learning. With this in mind, we applaud our explorers for working beyond the school day by participating in opportunities such as our After School Club, Growforth Club (gardening), Robotics Club, and our Wonder Club (science). Thank you for continuing to encourage your child to stretch in his/her learning! Please keep the upcoming events in mind as you plan:
- We are concerned for student safety and we need everyone’s cooperation; please remember to note the posted traffic signs when entering and leaving our school campus
- Remember to get an extra hour of sleep as you set your clocks for Daylight Savings Time! (Sunday, November 1st)
- November 6th Join the Fight against Drugs: Wear camouflage! This year, we will focus on being drug-free once a month in addition to our regular Red Ribbon Week
