Message from the Head of School
Dear Goshen families,
Welcome back! I hope your Thanksgiving holiday was peaceful and that quality time with family and friends was had by all.
We have just three weeks until we break for our next holiday December 14. They will be three very busy weeks. We have rehearsals, a field trip, parties, concerts, service events and more. We're looking forward to seeing you around campus this holiday season.
Thanks to all the Pre-K families who have completed the Kindergarten survey. We are still accepting responses from Pre-K families. Just
click here to take the survey.
Thanks also to all families for completing the Summer Camp survey. Your feedback is very helpful as we begin to make plans for the 2019 season. It will be here before you know it!
Click here for the camp survey.
I realize that Thanksgiving is over, but our gratitude for what our families do for Goshen never wavers. Thanks to all who have already given to our Annual Fund. Thank you in advance to those who are planning to give to the school on Giving Tuesday tomorrow. Your support for our school is so appreciated!
In Friendship,
Tr. Mimi
