Food Drive a Huge Success
The results are in! Our official 2011 Food
Drive total is 10,536 items, which is almost 2000 items
more than last year. That is an average of 26.5 items
per student. What an awesome job! I am so proud
of the GMS students and staff for all the effort (and
FUN) that went into this year's collection. The total
percentage of students and staff who contributed
items was an amazing 80.2%! Three of our Pride
Times were treated to a McDonald's breakfast because
they had such high averages. They were: Mrs.
Rindt – 37.6 items per student; Mrs. Hardesty and
Mrs. Tyler – 35.8 items; and Mrs. Skala – 29.4 items.
Again, thanks to our parents for their support of our
annual food drive. We will let you know when we
have the results from the entire Pioneer League.
Goddard Middle School PTO Dance
PTO will host its annual dance on Friday, February 10.
Last year PTO raised $2500 from the dance, gave away over
200 prizes, and students had a great time!
The reason the dance was such a success is that many parents
and businesses donated the prizes. As you shop this holiday
season (as well as the after-Christmas sales), please keep
PTO in mind if you come across a great bargain that will
appeal to a middle school student. We'll send an email in
January asking for your help.
If you own a business or work for a business that is willing to
donate items/money towards the dance, please contact Principal
Lisa Hogarth at lhogarth@goddardusd.com or 794-4230.

Internet Program Offers After School Tutoring
HomeworkKansas provides expert tutoring in core subjects to every Kansas student, Grades 4-12. HomeworkKansas, a service of the State Library of Kansas, allows students to connect to an expert tutor for one-to-one homework help. Tutoring is provided by a live tutor via the Internet. Students simply log on to the HomeworkKansas website at www.homeworkkansas.org and enter their Kansas library card number. Students can register and receive a Kansas library card number instantaneously at the same site. To better match students and their homework needs with the best available tutor, students are asked for their grade level and their homework topic. The student then enters the on-line classroom and, using chat technology and an on-line whiteboard, the tutoring sessions begins. All tutors are certified and have completed a third party background check. Tutors are available seven days a week from 4:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.

Remind your child to have all lunch business taken care of in the front office before 9:45 each morning. Any money dropped off after 9:45 will NOT be entered into your child's account until the next day.
Don't forget that you can also deposit lunch money via computer by logging on to MYNUTRIKIDS.COM.
