...It's a jungle in there! : ) Mr. Betts' fifth-graders proudly display their big cat drawings from art class. Mr. Betts recently returned for his second year as all-level art teacher for the district. When asked how things are going, he smiled and replied that he never knew Goodrich was here, but he was sure glad we found him!

Cuando se le preguntó cómo iban las cosas, sonrió y respondió que nunca supo que Goodrich estaba aquí, ¡pero que estaba feliz de haberlo encontrado! ¡Gracias, Sr. Betts, por hacer que el aprendizaje sea divertido para nuestros estudiantes aquí en Goodrich!
