We would like to send a special thank you to Mayda Hatfield (Ms. Wendy’s daughter) for taking Christmas pictures of all our students with Santa Claus.

Our third grade teachers and students would like to thank the Gooding Rotary Club for donating, “A Student’s Dictionary” to each of our third grade students.  The students were very excited to get a dictionary and quickly put them to good use.

October is a very unpredictable month for weather.  Please dress your child daily according to the daily weather conditions.  Students will go outside first thing in the morning and for recesses as long as the temperature does not drop below 11° or if it is raining.

With the flu season upon us please have your child get plenty of sleep and drink lots of fluids and most importantly, have them wash their hands several times a day.  Let’s keep those germs away!

The Leader in Me helps students learn how to become self-reliant, take initiative, plan ahead, set and track goals, do their homework, prioritize their time, manage their emotions, be considerate of others, express their viewpoint persuasively, resolve conflicts, find creative solutions, value differences, and live a balanced life. The process helps students develop the skills and self-confidence they need to lead their lives and succeed in school and beyond.
