Due to inclement weather, Field Day will be held indoors today. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate parent visitors because of space and staffing limitations. We appreciate your understanding and support.
Our creative and enthusiastic 3rd grade students have come up with a brand-new school holiday — Character Day! After brainstorming and sharing their favorite stories, heroes, and icons, they decided it would be amazing to celebrate the characters who inspire us.
Character Day will take place this Friday, May 9th!
Students are invited to dress up as their favorite character from a book, movie, TV show, or video game. Whether it’s a superhero, a princess, a wizard, or a talking animal, we can't wait to see the imagination and personality each costume brings to school!
This student-led idea is a celebration of creativity, reading, and self-expression — and a great reminder that learning can be fun and magical when we bring our imaginations to life.
LOST & FOUND OVERLOAD!
Our Lost & Found has officially reached “Where did all this come from?” status. It's full of lonely jackets, water bottles, and the occasional single shoe looking for its forever home.
Parents, you're welcome to stop by and take a look during school hours — anytime before 3:45 PM. You might just reunite with that hoodie that vanished weeks ago!
Please note: Our office staff won’t be able to search or hold items (we are already emotionally attached to the lost unicorn lunchbox ).
Come take a peek — your kid’s stuff misses you.
Student Verification is due 5/1/25! If you haven't already, please log into Skyward Family Access to complete the verification. If your student will NOT be returning for the 25-26 school year please contact the office ASAP!
Spring is in full bloom, and our students are loving every minute of it! There's nothing better than enjoying lunch outside in the fresh air, surrounded by friends and sunshine.
Thanks to the incredible support and fundraising efforts of our amazing families, we're looking forward to adding outdoor lunch & classroom tables for next school year!
We’re so grateful for this community and all the ways you help make our school even better. Here's to more lunches & classes under blue skies!

Ms. Carney, gym teacher here at Earhart, initiated a field trip for our 4th grade & Mixed Abilities classes to go watch the Tri-County Basketball game at Eisenhower Highschool.
"I saw this as a wonderful opportunity to bring our 4th grade students to cheer on our district's mixed-abilities basketball team! They made signs, cheered on the players, and had a great time. The fourth-grade teachers were thrilled to reconnect with their former students and families, offering their full support. It was such a heartwarming event that truly reminded us why we became educators. The love, joy, and uplifting energy were a beautiful reminder of what life is truly about."
They had a blast!!
Behind every successful student is a dedicated social worker who brings positivity, support, and a listening ear. Whether it's offering guidance, providing emotional support, or helping navigate life's challenges, school social workers are the unsung heroes creating a safe and uplifting environment for every child. Happy School Social Workers Week to our very own, Mrs. Tabatha!
AND we cannot forget to mention our wonderful Social Worker in training, Miss Gabby! Her gentle presence reminds us that sometimes, a wagging tail (or lack thereof), and a cuddle are all we need to feel better.
A group of select 3rd graders at Earhart had the exciting opportunity to lead the flag ceremony at the board meeting. Their involvement helps engage students in school events and encourage leadership skills. As they proudly stood in front of the board members and attendees, they demonstrated confidence and a sense of responsibility, marking a memorable moment for both the students and the community.

Many kindergarteners arrive at school with vastly different experiences. As Amelia Earhart kindergarten teacher Mrs. Wollard explained, "Some students don't have bikes or trikes at home and have never learned to ride." To address this, Mrs. Wollard secured an Innovative Teacher Grant to provide scooters, tricycles, and balance bikes for all Amelia Earhart kindergarteners to use during recess.
Developing gross motor skills like riding is crucial for young children. Access to this equipment helps improve coordination, balance, and sensory awareness. "Kids need to be active and burn energy to succeed and focus in the classroom," Mrs. Wollard emphasized. "These bikes, trikes, and scooters will not only teach our 100+ kindergarteners how to ride but also how to follow rules and take turns, fostering important social growth."
The joy on the kindergarteners' faces as they tried out the new equipment was undeniable. Goddard Public Schools is committed to providing learning opportunities beyond the traditional school day, and GEF Innovative Teacher Grants help educators make these opportunities a reality for all students.
From early childhood to graduation, we are #265Family! Thank you for being part of the journey to educate all students for lifelong success.
The Goddard Education would like to invite you to attend Oz, a night of philanthropy where we come together to support the #265Family and the Innovative Teacher Grant Program. Learn more about Oz 2025 by clicking this link: https://www.goddardef.org/o/gef/page/oz-2025-fundraising-event
