Goddard Public Schools launched a new mobile app to help students, parents, and community members know what is happening on campus from their phones. Most families use their phones as a primary means of communication, so we've created an app that is custom-built for your child's school for smartphones. The app lets you read the latest announcements, locate staff contact information, review upcoming events, and find important documents. The Goddard Public Schools App is available to download for FREE from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store today!
We are such a lucky school to have one of the best school counselors. Ms. Buresh has connections to students and staff all over the building, and makes a positive impact each day. Behind the scenes Ms. Buresh supports so many and helps others have the best school day possible. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for all that you do. Happy School Counseling Week!
Going old school on this Tiger Trait/Team Time Tuesday drawing and we are giving out containers of silly putty to the winners. All the teachers feel nostalgic about this prize! Congratulations to this group for showing their tiger traits for just two days and earning tickets. Our monthly trait is Kindness. We look forward to focusing on this additional trait all month long. See you Thursday for another drawing before our 4 day weekend!
We got some Andy Reid fans in the building today.

We have such a proud group of winners this week for the tiger ticket drawing! The box was stuffed full in hopes of winning a Simon Says hand held game. It was a cool one. Great job using your learned tiger traits kids. We loved all the great behaviors shown by many each day!

Just a little hanging around during 1st grade recess...
1st grade taking advantage of this beautiful weather!
The sun is shining and there are lots of smiling faces on this Motivational Monday. Mrs. Kristen is one of those faces! Her shirt reminds the students of how happy we are to see their faces each day. She appreciates being one of those smiling faces for our students each morning. Mrs. Kristen is an At Risk Reading Paraprofessional that wears many hats. She has three children in our district and two here at Oak Street still, so she is always on the move! Thanks for being part of our staff and a great parent in the building. Happy Monday!
What a week! We made it to 5 days in a row! This is something to celebrate! There were lots of tickets in the drawing box, so we know many were using their tiger traits this week! Our fun group won a Snackles Mini Brands Ball. This is hard to describe, but basically a unique stuffed animal that doubles in size when it comes out of the container with a mini-brand item. Ask your kids about them, they definitely know! Have a great weekend Oak Street Families!
The last and final day of the Great Kindness Challenge. We wrote letters to teachers around the building. We hand delivered these notes with carnations. Throughout this week we have learned about how little acts of kindness change the world, it brings a bright light in the lives of others around us. What a sweet way to end the best week!!

The Great Kindness Challenge Day 4 - The other half of the class helped Ms. Fawna clean up after lunch. We also made cards to thank the wonderful Goddard city utility workers. The brutal cold hasn't made their job easy and we wanted to show our appreciation for all they do!

The Great Kindness Challenge Day 3 - It was time for trash duty. We went around and collected each classroom's trash and took it out to the trash bin. We also learned about picking up litter and taking care of our own trash.
