Dear Parents, Guardians and Community Members,
This past Friday, our preK-6 students and staff were joined by all of the students and staff from Warren School and James Morris School at Goshen Center School to enjoy an assembly on Spanish culture.
The event featured performances by students from across the three schools and was led by our elementary Spanish teachers, Senor and Senora Ruiz. Following the assembly, students and staff divided into groups by grade level and conducted learning activities designed to educate our students on cultural awareness.
The day was a great success. All of us at GCS were very proud to host our district peers for this very special event.
Thank you,
Tracy Keilty
GCS Principal
