This is an important update regarding the upcoming museum field trip.
Permission slips were recently sent home with students. We apologize for the inconvenience, but the cost of the museum admission was not included on the original form. There are three different forms because of homeroom teachers going on different dates. If you did not get a permission slip from your student, please email either your homeroom teacher or apowers@goddardusd.com with your students name and homeroom for a new form.
The cost for the field trip is $5.00 per student.
Please complete and return the form with payment at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Challenger Intermediate School
Guest speakers from KAKE News visited our 6th grade social studies classes on Thursday, November 6th to share their expertise in advertising and media communication!
Students learned how advertising works and how companies persuade people to buy their products through television, radio, and digital devices. 💡
They’ll now put those skills to use by creating their own Ancient Greece–themed advertisements. 🇬🇷✨
A huge thank-you to our friends at KAKE News for inspiring our future creators and helping bring history — and marketing — to life!
