Celebrate Kindness Week with us!
This week our school had so much fun kicking off this year’s Kids Heart Challenge! Alongside this year’s heart heroes, we’re learning about healthy hearts and life lessons like getting active, asking for help, resting well and being kind. BONUS: your student will get a free wristband for joining at http://www2.heart.org/goto/Byrd_Elementary_SchoolGoochlandVA or using the AHA Schools app.
Can you believe the 100th day of school is THIS Friday?!? We are planning to celebrate 100 days of learning in a big way!
This Friday is another First Friday Spirit Day at the Goochland Restaurant! It would be a great day to turn in your reading bookmark or try out their famous pancakes!
