Principal’s Message

Part of the tradition of America is the principle of neighbors helping neighbors and members of a community reaching out to those in need. At the Goshen-Lempster Cooperative School, we value these time honored traditions and look for ways to enable our students to get involved in community service and experience the altruistic reward of helping others. To help support these efforts GLCS will soon reinstitute Student Council.

Throughout the year there will be many opportunities for groups and individual students to help contribute to their community, state and nation. Some of these activities will combine fun and service; some may be just plain hard work whose reward is in being of service to others. We believe community service is a valuable individual and school-wide attribute to encourage. Perhaps the following words of Edmund Everett Hale capture the true spirit of volunteerism “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”

As the weather gets colder we would like to remind everyone that recess is part of our day and children are expected to be dressed for outdoor play. As more and more students don hats and mittens we seem to find a proportionate increase in the number of items in our lost and found. It may be a good idea to take the time to label your child’s gloves/hats.
