Congratulations to Mr. Tate, our Teacher of the Year!

Meet the Student PBIS Team!

We are excited to introduce the Student PBIS Team at Goochland Middle School!

This group of dedicated students plays a vital role in promoting positive behavior and school spirit through the PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) program. They work to encourage and model our S.O.A.R. expectations—Safe, Own our actions, Achieve, and Respectful—while planning events and activities that celebrate student success.

We look forward to seeing the impact of their leadership and enthusiasm throughout the year!

Reading Program with Goochland Restaurant

We're excited to share a wonderful reading incentive program sponsored by Goochland Restaurant!

Students can earn free rewards by reading and tracking their progress. Here's how it works: Students will receive a bookmark to log their reading. After completing 8 books, they can bring their bookmark to Goochland Restaurant and choose a reward: a free drink plus either fries, onion rings, or a cookie. The best part? Students can complete multiple bookmarks and earn multiple rewards (see Mrs. Dewey in the LC for additional bookmarks)!

We hope this program encourages and celebrates our students' reading achievements.

Backpacks of Love

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Backpacks of Love, Inc. is a local charity that was formed to provide food for school children over the weekend. Children who are in need of such food will receive a small bag of food & snacks on the last day of the school week. The food exchange will be handled in a discreet manner with only the guidance counselor, teacher & child aware of what is occurring.
Backpacks of Love has been providing food for families since 2011 & is expanding to accept
more families. This letter is acting as an invitation to you & your child to participate in the
voluntary program. By completing the form below and returning it to the guidance
counselor you are agreeing to participate in the program.
We want everyone that needs food bags to receive them. Because the food is limited, please do not request the bags unless there is a true need. Let the school know if circumstances change.
The form at the bottom of this page will help the school to determine who is eligible. Backpacks of Love will not be responsible for how the food is used nor responsible for determining the safety of the food in allergy or food sensitivity situations, as that responsibility falls to the parents/guardians.
Please fill out & return the attached form if you want your child to receive the weekend food
bags.
Thank you,
Matt Henke -Executive Director - director@backpacksoflove.org - (804)350-1127
