THINK PINK!

Goddard is celebrating Breast Cancer Awarness Month!

Tomorrow, Thursday, October 28th, our school will donate $1 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for every student who wears PINK.

Help us support the great cause!

Air Conditioning

We have recently replaced the air conditioning unit in the Annex (Baby) Building with new heppa filters. These specific types of filters are built to reduce 99% of germs which will reduce the amount of air borne sicknesses.

This Week

This week's theme is Signs of Fall. So far, each class has been exploring the season's leaves, the changes in weather, and the different colors we see during the Fall season. 

Tomorrow, Friday, October 22nd Gymboree is visiting our school to do some cool activities with the kids! They will be here from 9AM-11AM. If you are interested in what the students will be doing or if you are thinking about starting at Gymboree please feel free to join the fun!

Halloween Parade

Halloween is approaching quickly!

Our parade is going to be done a lot different than previous years. We are asking all parents to bring their children's costumes in a labeled bag on the day of the parade (Friday, October 29th). The parade will start at 3:30 and will last about 15 minutes.

PLEASE NO "PROPS" OR TREAT BAGS!!!

Toddlers, Get Set, Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten will be participating in the parade.

Infants and First Steps will have a mini party in their classrooms.

We are having extra staff on hand to ensure every student has their costume on and ready for the parade.

Please wait outside for the parade to start.

We will walk the students down the sidewalk into the Annex parking lot which will be roped off.

PLEASE DO NOT take your child out of line.

Every child will be signed in and accounted for before exiting the building for safety reasons. If you plan on taking your child home after the parade,

please wait until ALL of the children are back inside their classrooms.

There will be a lot of parents and other family members here to see their children in the parade, so we are asking that only ONE parent per child come into the building to pick them up.

We appreciate everyone following the rules to make sure all of the children have a fun and safe parade.

We can't wait to see everyone in their costumes!!!!

It's Fire Safety Week

This week is all about fire safety and prevention!

We had a great time learning about fire safety and prevention from the Wall Township firemen.

Tomorrow, we will be teaching about fire drills and what to do in case of a fire at school.

Wednesday is all about hot and cold. Thursday and Friday will focus on when to call 9-1-1 and how to stop, drop, and roll.

Talk to your kids about what they learn every day about fire safety and prevention, and practice, practice, practice!!!

The Firemen are Coming!
