Badger Blast

We reach the last week of school and summer is upon us! This week brings several activities as the schools wrap up the year with assemblies, field trips and other activities. We also have a big event in the history of our district with the ribbon cutting and dedication of the new Goza Middle School Wednesday, May 29, at 9:00.

Thursday is the last day of school for the district and the last day of classes for our 6th, 7th and 8th graders at Goza Middle School located on Caddo Street. We know this is a significant time for several of our faculty and staff who have worked in that building for many, many years!

This will also be our last Badger Blast of the year. We thank you for reading each week as we have tried to keep you up to date with some of the things that are going on around our district throughout the year.

Have a great summer and go Badgers!!
