We'll be Marching in March

On March 1, 2005 the entire Goddard School will participate in a Mini March for Cystic Fibrosis. At 10:30 am, all staff and all children will begin marching around the playground to raise money for children with this condition. Teachers have already been explaining the day to the children and including some information about it within their lesson plans. Through activity pages and song, the children will hopefully better understand the importance of the day and the marching!! please make sure to hand in your pledge cards by March 1st to either your classroom teacher or the office if you choose to participate. We're hopeful for a successful event.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Toni Ann Eckerson
Center Director
