Hopes and Dreams

Each year we ask our students to talk about their goals for the year. Their hopes and dreams speak volumes about what they want to accomplish this year. Many of our fourth graders hope to become better leaders or better role models. They write about hoping to reach an advanced level in writing or mathematics. One hopes to become an even better scientist by studying and working hard. The younger students have simpler goals. They may hope to read harder books, tell time or learn to multiply. Still others dream of becoming artists, nurses or policemen. Two kindergarten responses were among my favorites this year. One little girl hopes to have a sleepover... her classmate's dream is to draw caterpillars!

My hope and dream is that all of these wonderful little people grow up to become amazing adults-  adults who are caring, fun-loving, bright, inquisitive, and capable. My goal is to make sure we do everything we can here at Goodwin to achieve that dream!

My sincere thanks  for your patience as we iron out the bus routes. It has been a long day for many of your children and the district is working with the bus company to improve the runs as quickly as possible so we can get children to school on time and back home at a reasonable time. We should begin to see some improvement early next week.
