Goshen Center School
October 19, 2017
Above is a photo of this week's Works of Wonder (“WOW”) wall showing student's accomplishments. The WOW wall is a program in which every two weeks teachers choose a student to showcase a piece of their current work to be displayed in the hallway near the cafeteria and gymnasium.
In preparing to display their work, the students explain to Mrs. Farrell the background of their work including any particular inspiration for the work, why they are proud to be displaying it and why they think it was chosen to be displayed. We are very proud of the WOW wall and all the students who have worked so hard and are proud and willing to share through this display. Please stop in and look at our WOW wall during your visits to Goshen Center School. This program displays not only great art, writing, math, and so much more but also a little bit about each of the students who create it. Keep up the great work GCS students!
Best wishes,

A Note from Our School Psychologist
Second Step classroom lessons are starting at all of our elementary schools. These weekly lessons provide a foundation of being a learner, empathy, peer relationships and problem-solving.
October is National Bullying Prevention Month! This nationwide campaign was started by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Council to educate and raise awareness of bully prevention. We will extend our Second Step lessons this month to focus on a variety of activities to engage our students in conversations about definitions of bullying and strategies to support all students. Together, all the elementary schools will ask our students to sign a “Be a Kid to Stand Up to Bullying” pledge to culminate the month’s activities.
On October 25, all of the elementary schools will be celebrating Unity Day. We are asking all of our students and staff to wear an orange shirt to show that we are united for “kindness, acceptance, inclusion, and together against bullying”. Please see the attached flyer for more information: http://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/unity-day.asp
Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.

Send in your BOX TOPS!
BOX TOPS Needed!
Please put your child's name and teacher's name on the bag with box tops.
Please continue to clip Box Tops off your favorite products! Ten cents doesn't sound like much but they add up fast and help the PTO provide Enrichment opportunities for GCS students. If possible, ask other family members, co-workers and neighbors to collect them as well. This is a quick reminder that at the end of each month the classroom that has collected the most Box Tops gets a prize. See the below attachment for a list of products that have Box Tops on their labels.
