March/April 2009 ”Good News”letter | | Friday, March 27, 2009 Good News continues to pour in from the north...
As the month of March goes out, we welcome April, with its many special events...
* Many thanks to all who participated in last week's "Spring Into Wellness" Health Fair sponsored by the PTG. We had an impressive roomful of exhibitors, a concert, a hip-hop fitness demonstration, healthy snacks and more, that were enjoyed by a number of students and parents.
* After a successful showing at Good Shephed's Shelby Noyes Memorial Science Fair, our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders participated in a day of learning and displaying at Lyndon State College, where four of them took top honors in the competition. Michele Mackay (grade 7) and Kara Downing (grade 6) were awarded 1st place in the 7th/8th grade and 5th/6th grade divisions. Isaac Woods took 2nd place honors and Brandon Wells received 3rd place in the 5th/6th grade division as well. Here's a glimpse of the day's activities...
