Dear Goshen families,

Spring Break is just around the corner - with a potential snowy Nor'easter halfway down the block! Just a quick reminder that school will be closed March 26 through April 2. Classes will resume Tuesday, April 3. 

No matter what the weather brings us this week, I do hope you all enjoy a joyful, restful vacation. In the meantime: think spring!

In friendship,

Mimi

Donations can be brought to the Admin Office or sent in via backpack.
