🎀 Red Ribbon Week is almost here! 🎀
The week of October 27th - October 31st we’re celebrating being drug-free and giving back to our Goddard community with a fun Spirit Week + Food Drive!
Each day has a dress-up theme and a suggested donation item to support our local food pantry — but donations are NOT required to join in on the fun! 🙌
Here’s the lineup:
Mon, Oct 27th: We “Mustache” you to say NO to drugs! Bring canned veggies/fruit.
Tues, Oct 28th: Hats off to being drug-free! Bring starches (pasta, mac & cheese).
Wed, Oct 29th: Team up to be drug-free! Bring baby wipes, socks, or kids’ undies.
Thurs, Oct 30th: Our futures are BRIGHT without drugs! Wear neon, bring cereal & TP.
Fri, Oct 31st: Drugs are spooky! Wear Halloween attire (no costumes until parade) + bring condiments/peanut butter/spaghetti sauce.
Let’s show our Earhart spirit and make a difference — one fun outfit (and one can!) at a time
Coats, water bottles, and hats—abandoned, forgotten, waiting for their brave owners.
Parents, as you journey to conferences, stop by the Lost & Found.
Because… Winter is Coming.
Our teachers work long hours during conferences, and these meals are such a great way to show them how appreciated they are. If you can help fill one of the remaining spots, we’d be so grateful!

We invite you to join us for a morning dedicated to remembering and experiencing all the amazing things that happen in elementary classrooms. This is more than just a volunteer event; it’s a celebration of generations and a chance to forge new relationships.
