#TeacherAppreciationWeek #CJHookerMiddleSchool #WeLoveOurTeachers

Awesome job! Let's congratulate our CJH Students of the Month for January and February! (The original video post had an error -- here's the updated version!)

It’s National Assistant Principals Week! Thank you to our assistant principals Sarah Jabbar (GHS), Nancy Mesic (SAS & GIS), Dr. Matthew O'Brien (GHS) and Bob Siracuse (CJH) for their tireless efforts to support our students. #APWeek21 #GoshenStrong

So many times we hear about that one teacher who made a special impact on someone's life. Who was that teacher for you? Even if you didn't graduate from #GoshenCentralSchoolDistrict, we want to hear about your best teacher ever! #TeacherAppreciationWeek #GoshenPride

Once again, the NAMM Foundation has recognized Goshen with a Best Communities for Music Education Award! With a variety of bands, choruses, orchestras, musical productions, clubs and more, we're not surprised! Thank you for supporting music education in our schools! #BestCommunitiesForMusicEducation

We're celebrating our seniors! Daniel Horrego's future plans include living in Quebec, finishing his studies and becoming a teacher. All the best to you, Daniel; we know your future is bright! #CelebratingGoshenGrads21 What is one thing you learned this year? There is so much to do in life so I have to drown out distractions and go for what I want.... What accomplishment are you most proud of? I'm most proud of my intelligence and ability to thoroughly think over problems or decisions. What would you like to change in the world? I would like to change my own life and the lives of those around me.

Such a beautiful day for learning! Fifth graders in Karen Kropp's class recently worked on Project Lead the Way module titled "Infection: Modeling and Simulation." Students worked with Computers Teaching Assistant Kendra Parchinski to simulate the spread of a communicable disease and design a computer model in Scratch.

We're celebrating our seniors! Class of 2021 senior Gwen Aitchison's future plans include getting a Masters degree in social work in order to work with struggling youth. #CelebratingGoshenGrads21 What is one thing you learned this year? That growing up means letting go.... What accomplishment are you most proud of? That even through a pandemic, I could bounce back and work hard to get into my top colleges. What would you like to change in the world? I don’t want a good life to be exclusive to people who are well off. A stable life and home should be universal. We're proud of you, Gwen!
