Goza Middle School Sixth-Grade Teachers took students on a field trip to the Little Rock Central High National Historic Site. It was a great experience for the students and just as exciting is the glowing letter our district administration received from the site director regarding their visit. An excerpt from the letter reads:
"I work with thousands of students every year from all backgrounds, all age ranges, and at all levels of pre-knowledge and preparedness; these students stood out to me among those I have had the chance to work with this thus far in 2023 for their maturity, respect for the story, behavior, and curiosity. I know that this is a direct reflection of the teachers and staff who work with them on a daily basis.”
Having been nominated by Cheryl Merk, GMS Principal, the teachers received a Badger Pride Award at the March School Board Meeting. Thank you, Brandi Cotton, Jeremy Smith, Misty Smith, Kaki Forthman, Griffin Pritchard (not pictured), and Meridith Armstrong (not pictured), for the exceptional work you do with our students at Goza Middle School!
We are proud of all of you!
