Thank you to all the students, staff, and families who donated to the Food Drive this week! Students got to enjoy watching staff get a pie in the face at the end of the day Friday!
The GMS Percussion Ensemble and the GHS Percussion Group were selected to perform at the 2025 Day of Percussion hosted by the Kansas Percussive Arts Society. The Goddard students will travel to Kansas Wesleyan University on February 15th to perform along with other university, high school, and middle school percussion ensembles. Congrats and good luck to those groups!

Leadworthy classes created a "Gratitude Chain" this week. Working in teams, students were given a piece of paper, scissors, markers, and a 6" strip of tape. They were given 5 minutes to use those materials to try to create the longest chain possible with each link being something they were grateful for. Just in time for Thanksgiving!

This week we celebrate school psychologists! Thank you to our school psychologist, Mr. Covel! Here is what he said he enjoys about his job:
"This is my fourth year as a school psychologist. I get the distinct honor of working to affect changes across the school that I feel make it easier for students and teachers to access support that they need in the classroom. I really enjoy getting to work directly with students and teachers to come up with interventions and strategies that work. I also love working with families to guide them through the process of finding the right support for their kids to help them find success in school. "
Today's Pride Time activities were about trust and teamwork! Students created an acrostic poem with their names, coming up with words related to trustworthiness. And some classes had to guide blindfolded team members around obstacles, working as a team!
"A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results." – Wade Boggs
Congratulations to Mrs. Robin Perkins for receiving the District Attitude Award! Robin was nominated by Piper White and Dane Baxa. Piper White wrote, “The print shop is not an easy or stress-free environment especially when you get multiple orders each day from all around the district, but Robin does so with a smile on her face. At the beginning of the year (or her busiest time) she and her staff worked so hard to make sure all staff had the orders before the first day of school. On top of just getting us the orders she also wrote positive messages that always leave us smiling. Robin communicates effectively, and if there is ever a rush order needed, she is not afraid of the challenge. Robin is a rock star!”
Dane Baxa wrote, “Robin Perkins stepped up to help the District in a big way after the sudden loss of Nancy Johnson. Robin is more than just a skilled Print Shop operator; she’s a problem-solver who brings positivity and energy to her work every day. She often anticipates the needs of teachers, administrators, and staff, frequently stepping in to assist with last-minute requests and high-volume projects without hesitation. Her reliability and willingness to do whatever it takes to support others have made her an invaluable resource.
She developed a plan to visit every school during orientation, making a personal connection with as many staff members as possible, building positive relationships, and explaining the services she provides and the process for submitting print jobs.
Beyond her exceptional technical abilities, Robin’s attitude exemplifies the values of our district. Her commitment to excellence and genuine kindness uplift everyone she works with. She is always quick to offer encouragement, inspiring our Community Relations Team and those around her.”
