Goshen Center School
November 16, 2017
In recognition of the many outstanding staff and students across our district, Superintendent Chris Leone has directed each school principal to nominate a staff member and select students for Points of Pride recognition when the Board of Education meets at our school. At Tuesday evening's Board of Education meeting at Goshen Center School, I was privileged to present John Leary, our fantastic custodian with a certificate of outstanding service In recognition of his exceptional work ethic, tireless effort and rapid response to meet the needs of our teachers and staff at Goshen Center School. Our school sparkles because of him! The two students honored were Riley Olsen with a certificate of recognition of her caring spirit demonstrated through her work with the elderly and on behalf of animal rescue and Ava Lilis with a certificate for being a creative and enthusiastic learner who loves discussion and discovery.
Goshen Center School is fortunate to have such a committed staff, dynamic learners, and supportive families. Thank you to everyone for ensuring that Goshen School is a great place to learn and grow!
Best wishes,
Tracy Keilty
