Goessel School Board hears plans for summer school
The Goessel school board met on April 12 and listened to kindergarten teacher Sheri Janzen describe plans for summer school. Jill Booton, who is helping Janzen plan, also attended the meeting. Five teachers plan to be involved with summer school.
“Chilling at Summer School” is the theme. Popsicle and snow cones might be included as treats. Plans are for three weeks of summer school, 8-11 am for one group and from 12-3 pm for another group, four days each week, Monday through Thursday. The students will receive 33 hours of instruction, and a field trip is planned for the last day. In the past, summer school has been two weeks instead of three. Janzen talked about mixed age groups and scheduling siblings for the same session to make it more convenient for families.
Goessel School District receives donations
GOESSEL Goessel School Board met on Feb. 8 and heard from Superintendent/elementary principal Amanda Lowrance about donations to the athletic department from Leon and Virginia Guhr and also Duane and Agatha Duerksen. The donations will help pay the cost of officials for basketball games. Board chair Kelly Booton wished to thank them for their generosity. The board voted to accept the donations.
Lowrance told the board that Kansas State High School Activities Association rules have changed for spectators at ball games. Previously, two spectators were allowed for each participant. Some schools might choose to keep that limit. However, KSHSAA now allows four spectators for each participant. Therefore, Goessel will now allow four. Social distancing and masks are still required.
