📚✏️🍎 HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL! 🚌❤️

The Goodwin Center wishes all of our students, families and school staff a wonderful first day back!

A special THANK YOU to our teachers, administrators, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, facilities staff and everyone working behind the scenes to make the start of a new school year possible. We appreciate you! ❤️

And a little reminder for all of us: give each other some grace these first few days. 🫶 Buses may run late, car rider lines may be longer as everyone is getting back into the routine. It will get better!

Here’s to a safe, happy and AMAZING school year! 📚✨

The Goodwin Community Center understands that summer can be challenging for families when school meals are not available. To help fill that gap, we are launching a Summer Food Pack Program for families with students attending Stephen Decatur Elementary or Lynwood Elementary.

Each week until the new school year begins, we will provide 30 food packs on a first come, first served basis to eligible families. These food packs will not look the same each week, they will be based on what food we have available from our community partners and donations.

📌 Families must have at least one student attending Stephen Decatur Elementary or Lynwood Elementary.
📌 Families must complete the registration form each week to be considered.
📌 The first 30 eligible families who complete the form will receive a food pack for that week.
