The Goddard School

We started off our pun-derful #teacherappreciationweek letting our teachers know: they are awesome to the core, succ great teachers that are fa-boo-lous, and deserve a break!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! To celebrate, Goddard has teamed up with some special guests to help express just how much we admire and cherish our teachers. Thank you for all that you do and for choosing our School to call home!

Just like adapting to at-home learning, returning to school will be a transition for both you and your child.
