Goshen Friends School

💐 One of our favorite traditions at Goshen Friends School: Mother’s Day plates.

For generations, GFS students have turned their original artwork into keepsake plates for their moms, each one capturing a moment in time and becoming part of family memories for years to come. The oldest plate in these photos dates all the way back to 1975!

Do you still have a GFS Mother’s Day plate at home? Alumni families and former students, we’d love to see them! Share a photo in the comments and tell us what year it’s from.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms, grandmothers, and caregivers in our GFS community! 💚🕊️

Throwing it back to earlier this week: sun on our faces, hands in the dirt, and an outdoor classroom full of discovery. Hurry up, Spring!

Outdoor Ed this week: 🐻🎶 We’re going on a bear hunt 🎶 🌲 👣

Squelch through the mud, swish through the grass, splash across the creek, crawl through the cave… and finish with a big bear hug!

Our Read Across America celebration was a joyful way to honor our favorite stories and authors. We are so grateful to Tr. Kristie for coordinating the event and to our teachers and students for the time and care they put into their book selections, artwork, and creative favorite hats!

Due to snow and ice forecast for the early morning hours, Goshen Friends School will operate on a delayed schedule today, Tuesday, March 3. Car line begins at 9:45.

🎉100 days and counting! Our pre-k students have been eagerly waiting for this milestone since the first day of school. Dressed as 100-year-olds or in their 100th day shirts, they jumped into scavenger hunts and hands-on counting activities. All the excitement was topped off with a special 100th day snack: ten pieces each of 10 different snacks items, which they counted out using ten frames!
