Reading Buddies

What better way to share books and original stories than with a buddy. Students from the upper grades meet weekly with their lower grade partners to read books and write stories.

Safety Patrol

Safety Patrol members help keep student traffic moving safely and smoothly during arrival and dismissal times. They also act as Eagle Guides to help new students and their parents get familiar with Goldsboro's campus. New students and their parents are given a personal tour of the campus and guided to their new classroom.

Student Council

Students had an exciting time learning about the voting process. Even the mayor of Sanford, Betty Smith, participated as one of the distinguished guest speaker during the Student Council campaign speech program. Student Council members play an active role in helping to improve Goldsboro's campus and in voicing the opinions and concerns of their peers.

D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education)

Officer Poovey is Goldsboro's D.A.R.E. officer. He meets weekly with each 5th grade class and, through a variety of activities, educates students about substance abuse. Upon completion of the program, students celebrate with a D.A.R.E. picnic and graduation ceremony during which they receive a D.A.R.E. T-shirt and certificate.

Accelerated Reader

Students choose a book to read. After reading the book, they take a short computerized comprehension test from the Accelerated Reader program. Points are given for each correct answer. A chance for a fun-filled field trip is one incentive which students in kindergarten through fifth grade can earn with these points.
