'Tis the Season


Christmas time is here once again. Can you believe it? Here at the Goddard School it feels like just yesterday that we were in the Halloween spirit, planning parties and parades. Then Sandy came along and washed away our holiday, our homes and our hope. That didn't last long though. We weren't going to let this Frankin-storm hold us down! We celebrated Halloween the Goddard way - with a dance party! (Better late then never). Some of our families suffered severe damage to their homes. But with some kinds hearts and gracious donations, we helped them collect the items they needed to get things back to normal. Our hope was restored with the power, and we realized that in times of need; we can come together to support each other.

Thanksgiving has come and gone and Christmas is in the air. The holidays are a beautiful, joyous time of year when we remember how many blessings we have in our lives. We at the Goddard School are lucky to have such an amazing staff of teachers, wonderful children and supportive families that make it all possible. We are looking forward to a new year of fun, love and learning.

Now, let's talk about Christmas! Gordon the Goddard Elf has been sneaking around school, keeping a close eye on all the children and reporting good behavior to Santa. We're keeping the Christmas spirit alive by collecting donations all month for Toys for Tots. These donations will go towards less fortunate children and families at Christmas time.

We want this blog post to be an outlet for conversation. So we want to know, what are your kids asking for Christmas? What is Santa going to bring? Where are the best deals this season and what are the hottest items? Post your comments in the comments section below!
