🦁💙 Growing Together Through Caring Circles! 💙🦁

Caring Circles are small groups that focus on building positive social-emotional skills while giving students the opportunity to connect and learn alongside others who are working on similar skills.

Miss Ashley’s first round is wrapping up, and two groups have already earned their Certificates of Completion for all their hard work! 🎉 It’s been so fun watching these Lions learn, grow, and connect with one another.

Miss Ashley is already looking forward to Round 2! Way to go, Lions! 🦁👏💙

Our K–2 students gathered for an assembly filled with fun, community building, and school pride!

As part of our monthly focus on Responsibility, we had the absolute joy of spotlighting some remarkable students in Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade who consistently lead by example and show us what taking responsibility looks like every single day. It was wonderful to come together to support and celebrate one another's successes!

This is just the beginning! Moving forward, we are excited to make these assemblies a tradition where we can regularly uplift our students, foster community, and celebrate one another.

Next up: our 3rd and 4th graders! We are already looking forward to celebrating them during next week’s assembly.

Way to go, Lions!

PTO Event: The Arcade Fundraiser! Saturday, September 19th ALL DAY! 11 am- 1 am You must mention Clark Davidson when you check in.

The tables are set. The programs are ready. The stories are waiting to be celebrated.

Today, more than 25 volunteers came together to put the finishing touches on a very special day for Goddard Public Schools.

Students, Hall of Fame Planning Committee members, Goddard Education Foundation Trustees, Community Relations staff and interns, and other volunteers worked side-by-side to create the beautiful spaces and experiences that will welcome our Goddard Hall of Fame, Class of 2026 honorees, their families, friends, and guests tomorrow at Pathway Church.

From setting tables and preparing programs to arranging displays and working through all of the final details, so many hands have helped make this celebration possible. Thank you to every volunteer who gave their time and talents to help us honor the people and stories that have shaped Goddard Public Schools.

But today was also a reminder of why we do this.

During a break for lunch, our volunteers had the opportunity to get a first look at the Hall of Fame honoree videos that will be shared during tomorrow's celebration. Among those watching were current Goddard High School students and our Community Relations interns, young people who are just beginning to imagine where their own lives might take them.

That is an important part of the purpose of the Goddard Hall of Fame. We celebrate the accomplishments of generations who came before us, but we also share their stories to inspire the generations who will come next.

We want today's students to see themselves in these stories. Our honorees once sat in Goddard classrooms, walked these same hallways, learned from Goddard educators, and wondered what their futures might hold. Their journeys remind our students that where they begin does not define how far they can go, and that someday, their stories may inspire the generation that follows them.

And now, we are ready!

Tomorrow, Friday, September 18, we will celebrate the Goddard Public Schools Hall of Fame Class of 2026:

Dan Buchanan
Dr. Mary Cohen (Shinogle)
Jerry Longabaugh
Dr. Michael Vivion
Dr. Christopher Warren

District Stadium
Kickoff: 7:00 p.m.
Hall of Fame Recognition: Beginning of halftime, approximately 7:45 to 8:00 p.m.

For 142 years, generations of students, educators, families, and community members have helped write the story of Goddard Public Schools. Tomorrow, we have the privilege of celebrating five remarkable people whose lives and service have become part of that story.

The Hall of Fame is more than a recognition of accomplishment. It is an opportunity to honor our past, reconnect generations of our #265Family, and, perhaps most importantly, show the next generation of USD 265-Goddard Public Schools graduates what is possible.

There is still time to join us! Come celebrate these remarkable honorees and the legacy and future of Goddard Public Schools with us tomorrow.
