🎉 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉
We are thrilled to announce that 30 Innovative Teacher Grants were awarded to dedicated USD 265 educators across the District on Friday, December 5th, 2025! Here is just a sneak peak of some of the grants awarded. Visit https://www.facebook.com/goddardef to see pictures of all the Educators who received this year's Innovative Teacher Grants.
These grants will fund innovative projects, purchase cutting-edge resources, and create inspiring learning experiences for our USD 265 students. From STEM equipment to enhanced literacy materials, our teachers are bringing innovation into the classroom!
The Innovative Teacher Grant program is a direct result of the support generated throughout the year. The GIVE. GRATITUDE. GODDARD. campaign is one of the ways the GEF is able to raise funds that invest in the future of our students and the passion of our educators.
Let's celebrate these teachers and the amazing work they do every day!
DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!
Your generosity sparks innovation in classrooms just like this year's Innovative Teacher Grant Recipients. And right now, every gift to the Goddard Education Foundation is doubled thanks to a $25,000 matching opportunity.
There’s never been a more powerful moment to Give. Gratitude. Goddard.

Our amazing Pride Pack students participated in bell ringing for the Salvation Army at the Goddard Walmart on Saturday, and they absolutely shined! Their enthusiasm and Christmas cheer were contagious, helping to bring in lots of donations from generous Walmart patrons.
It's heartwarming to see our students giving back to the community and spreading holiday joy. Way to go, Pride Pack! 🎄❤️

This morning, Discovery Intermediate's Pride Pack, along with sponsors Mrs. Sweetwood and Ms. Carrillo, had the incredible honor of hosting a Heroes Breakfast for our military members (past and present) and first responders!
Our heroes were greeted by a beautiful Hero's Wall created by Mrs. Nixon, surrounded by heartfelt poems written in library class and stunning poppies crafted by Mrs. Heim's social studies students. The Aux gym was transformed into a special space dedicated entirely to honoring their service and sacrifice.
A delicious breakfast, prepared by Susan Perkins, owner of A Heart of Country Catering and GHS Assistant Principal, was served with pride by our Pride Pack students. Our guests enjoyed wonderful fellowship and received tokens of our appreciation.
Thank you to all of our heroes for your dedication, sacrifice, and service to our community and country.
We are forever grateful! ❤️🤍💙

📚⚰️ Mrs. Johnston's ELA classes held a Dead Word Funeral last week! Students buried overused words from their essays and discovered powerful synonyms to use instead. RIP "good," "bad," and "said"—hello vivid vocabulary! 💀✍️
