The Backpack-to-School Supply Drive Pickup Event is happening 3:00pm-5:00pm, TODAY, Saturday, August 12, at Pathway Church Goddard Campus. If your family is in need, your children are welcome to choose the backpack they want, and fill it with the school supplies they need for a successful start to their school year!
We are so very fortunate to have such wonderful community partners, businesses that have opened their doors to be a school supply drop off site, and generous community members who have contributed supplies and donated online to the success of this initiative. It takes the whole community to educate students for lifelong success and this what makes our #265Family so amazing!
A special thank you to Megan Alexander, Counselor a Challenger Intermediate School, Pathway Church of Goddard and the Goddard Education Foundation for helping organize this initiative.
Thank you to the First National Bank, Goddard Ace Hardware, All State with Mark Collier, Iron Nutrition, Kansas Strength and Performance, Cofellow Coffee Parlor, Goddard Pizza Hut, Goddard Piblic Library, Goddard Woman's Club, Goddard Lions Club, Mrs. Cole's Tropical Sno , Chick-fil-a, Mr. B's Daylight Donuts, and Credit Union of America for contributing incentives to help secure school supply donations.
Volunteers at Pathway Church are finishing organizing the supplies this morning and are ready to serve the students of Goddard Public Schools!

Good afternoon! I hope everyone is having a great last bit of summer break. As open house and final steps are made to make this school year great, I wanted to reach out and remind (or inform) everyone about car rider signs. We have signs that you will place in your vehicles, ideally on the dashboard or hanging on your mirror, that will have your student’s name on it. These signs are going to be in the office during open house for you to pick up. Please see the picture on how we would like your student’s name to appear. If you have any questions, feel free to call us, or ask us at open house.
We are so excited to see everyone here at Explorer!
