From the Head of School

It was wonderful to see everyone at the Back-to-School picnic Friday evening! Thank you for joining us, and thank you for sharing so many wonderful dishes and goodies!


We are looking forward to Back-to-School night tonight and tomorrow. This is a great way for you to learn more about curriculum and activities,  see your child's classroom, get to know your teachers, hear more about routines, and learn about volunteer opportunities. We look forward to seeing you there!

Goshen Parent Community

GFS parents: If you'll be attending the Harvest Fair, we'd love for you to volunteer, too! Be on the lookout for a Signup Genius.

Box Tops! Our first Box Tops 4 Education collection of the year is approaching. Please continue to collect Box Tops (ask friends and grandparents to collect, too) and submit them on or before Friday, October 20. There are two ways to turn in your Box Tops:
  1. Put them in a sealable bag or envelope and send them in via your child's backpack, labeled 'For Jennifer Salvo, Room C.'
  2. Place them in the collection envelope located in the Extended Care Room.
