The Goddard Lochmere Newsletter - May 2025

Note from the Owner

Sheetal Kedia & Geetika Gupta


Thank you to all our families for joining us at the Spring Carnival—it was a joy-filled evening, and your presence made it extra special! Hopefully, you’ve had a chance to see some of the fun captured on our school’s social media pages. As we head into May, we’re excited for a month full of celebrations, including Teacher Appreciation Week, a special Mother’s Day Tea honoring all our wonderful moms, and our annual Family Picnic in honor of Memorial Day. In the classroom, children will be exploring exciting topics like where our food grows, discovering insects, and learning about animal habitats—a perfect way to celebrate spring through hands-on learning!

TEACHER FEATURE

Supervision by Parents


For everyone's safety, we kindly ask that all children—including older siblings—remain under adult supervision at all times when using the stairs or elevator. We've noticed some older children navigating these areas alone, which is not permitted, as they are still minors and it poses a safety and liability concern. Thank you for helping us keep our environment safe for all!
