THANK YOU, Goddard Public Schools Maintenance Team!
While most of the community was staying warm inside, this incredible maintenance team was outside doing the hard work that makes a safe return to school possible.
On Sunday, January 25th, and again early Monday morning, January 26th, the USD 265 Facilities, Maintenance & Operations staff were out across the district clearing snow from parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and entrances, ensuring school buildings are safe and accessible for students, staff, and families.
These moments from Clark Davidson Elementary School, Discovery Intermediate School, and Challenger Intermediate School are a snapshot of the pride, grit, and dedication behind the scenes. Snow storms do not stop this team from showing up, problem solving, and taking care of our schools.
Their work may happen before sunrise and behind the scenes, but its impact is felt by every student and staff member who walks through our doors. Thank you for going above and beyond for our #265Family!
Capture this year's memories! Yearbooks are available for just $20.00.
Payment (cash or check) can be made at the office.
Order by March 13th — don't miss out on preserving this year's special moments!
Yearbooks will be distributed on the last day of school.
If you're passionate about supporting students and making a difference in education, we'd love to hear from you.

🎉 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.

Way to go, Ella! Discovery is so proud of you! 🎉👏
Our Discovery students had an action-packed end to the month. The Night of Neon dance was a huge hit—thank you to our amazing PTO for putting together such a fun evening for our students!
We also had several DART students show their speed and determination at the Turkey Trot 2-mile race. Congratulations to Nolan Koziol (13:48) and Boston Burkholder (14:29) for taking 1st and 3rd place in the 10 and under category! Way to represent Discovery! 🏃♂️🥇
It was wonderful to see so many families come out to support our runners on a chilly morning. We're proud of all our participants!
