Message from the Head of School
Dear Goshen families,
Today we had our first Friendship Feast. The children wore the turkey hats they made in class, enjoyed a special snack and watched the teachers perform the story of the first Thanksgiving. It was very sweet!
We talk a lot about gratitude here at Thanksgiving. So in this season of thanks, I would like to say thank you to all the children, families, teachers and staff, grandparents and friends of the school. I am so grateful to be a part of this community!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
In Friendship,
Tr. Mimi
