Congratulations to Explorer Elementary's amazing Physical Education teacher, Erin Lawrence!
Mrs. Lawrence is always innovating to bring diverse and engaging activities to her students. Thanks to an Innovative Teacher Grant from the Goddard Education Foundation, over 450 students at Explorer Elementary will have the opportunity to dive into new adventures in PE. With her “Movement and Fun For Everyone” grant, Mrs. Lawrence was able to purchase new portable nets, cornhole boards, and more P.E. equipment to make learning fun and active!
"This equipment allows our students to work on standard-specific skills that help build not only their physical, but their mental, and emotional well-being too,” shared Mrs. Lawrence. Making the connection that movement isn’t just about playing new games; it’s about fostering a lifelong love of activity and developing teamwork and social skills. Students will learn skills in PE that they can take directly into real-world settings and community events.
We love seeing how these grants directly empower our educators and enrich our students' experiences in Goddard Public Schools!

Last day for Book Fair Shopping! Join us tonight from 4:15-6:30 in the Explorer Library!
Special thanks to Joel Condray, author of A True Kansas Treasure and math teacher at Challenger Intermediate, for sharing his True Treasure with third and fourth grade students. "The treasure is much more than dinosaur bones. That's cool, but even better was spending time with my grandpa," Mr. Condray said. Check out more information about his book and his grandpa's discovery at www.truekstreasure.com.
Book Fair shopping has begun and will continue until Thursday!
GLOW RUN is next week!
All donations are due Tuesday, April 22nd!
Our run is on Thursday, April 24th during your child's PE time--reach out to your child's teacher if you're unsure when they run!
If the school body raises $12,000, everyone gets to play Bingo in the Library in May!
THANK YOU,
Mrs. Whelan ♥
