We are excited for our first home football game this Friday, August 29th vs. Anamosa. Please review our Activities Expectations. Students 5th grade and younger are expected to sit with their family members (5th grade will continue to sit with their family even though they are in Middle School). In addition, once students enter they need to remain in Goodenow. Students will not be able to reenter the event if they leave, unless the are with an adult.
Thank You for your support as we work to make this a fun and safe event for everyone!
Mark your calendars and get those pearly whites ready! High school picuture day is Monday, September 8th. Pictures will be taken in the Commons Area at the High School that morning from 8:00 am until 10:00 am.
