Don’t Forget!
The Back to School Brown Bag Picnic is coming up Friday, September 17 from 5:30 to 7 pm on the playground! No RSVP necessary. Just bring a brown bag dinner and beverages for you and your child; the school will provide dessert!
Due to health and safety protocols, we ask that only one parent per Goshen Friends student attend. In an abundance of caution, we are requiring that all parents, students and staff wear face masks. Thank you!!

From the Head of School
Hello Goshen Families!
We have had such fun this week learning and playing with your little ones! We are busy learning new routines, making friends and exploring our campus and classrooms. We jumped right in with our specials classes this week. We are decorating the bulletin board in Tr. Chris’s art room, doing yoga outside with Tr. Jaime and learning the “Buenos Dias” song with Tr. Maria Elena. And of course, we are having lots of fun in this late-summer weather!

Thank you to all the many parents and students who collected natural items for the outdoor classroom. I can see that many of you had great adventures over the summer! We have a beautiful collection of pine cones, sea glass, sea shells, oyster shells, birds’ nests and feathers, rocks and stones, driftwood, twigs, beech nuts and even a whelk egg case! And we have magnifying glasses so we can examine these lovely treasures up close. Thank you!
I am looking forward to seeing parents and students at the Back to School Picnic Friday night! See you soon!
In Friendship,
Mimi
