Our Discovery PTO is partnering with the Goddard Education Foundation's Ticket-to-Ride Raffle Campaign! We’re thrilled to offer you a chance to support our students and win big! With each ticket you purchase—one ticket for $25 or a 5-pack of tickets for $100—you’re helping enhance education in our schools. Plus, $10 from every ticket can be designated to DISCOVERY INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL, and 100% of the proceeds stay here in our community.
When Discovery Intermediate School reaches our school-wide goal of selling 300 Tickets, Mr. Smith will spend the night on the Discovery rooftop!

There will be FREE Food for the whole family, provided by Lange Real Estate, and donations will be accepted to support Discovery's Pride Pack community initiatives, including the upcoming Veteran's Day meal for local Veterans. Kids will also enjoy FREE activities, including a Dunk Tunk, Face Painting, DJ, Games, and MUCH MORE! After the Tailgate Event, we'll head to the District Stadium to watch the Eisenhower High School Tigers Football Game!
Parents, we could still use a few more volunteers to help make this a successful experience for all. Please click on the link below to sign-up for a 1-hour volunteer shift.

I wanted to share with you an opportunity to make a BIG Impact this #GivingTuesday with the Goddard Education Foundation (GEF) and explain how we partner with the GEF to enhance the educational experience of our students here at Discovery.
The Goddard Education Foundation has a commitment from an anonymous alumnus, who will match funds donated by individuals until December 31, 2022, up to $50,000.00. That means for every dollar you donate to the GEF today, another dollar will be donated on your behalf, doubling the impact your contribution will have on our students.
The Goddard Education Foundation is a non-profit, 501c3 organization, established in 2014, to serve as the direct support organization to the Goddard Public Schools. Discovery has benefited from receiving 5 Innovative Teacher Grants, and we have more projects pending that could be implemented this Spring.
The Foundation provides ALL of our educators the ability to DREAM BIG and apply for up to $1000.00 for an innovative classroom program or school-wide initiative that is above and beyond what would be possible with our available funds.
The GEF has received over 30 Teacher Grant Applications for projects that could be implemented in the Spring, 2023 Semester. We want them funded to impact the 400+ students in our school, AND to earn the full $50,000.00 matching contribution from the anonymous donor.
How can you make an impact?
Please visit https://goddardeducationfoundation-bloom.kindful.com/?campaign=1223723 to make a secure, tax-deductible donation to help us reach our goal. You can also mail a check to the Goddard Education Foundation at 201 S. Main, St., Goddard, KS 67052 before the end of the year. For more information about the GEF, please visit www.goddardef.org.
Discovery is proud to partner with the Goddard Education Foundation and grateful for your support this Holiday Season. Please take a few minutes to watch and share this VIDEO of what makes our school community a Family.
Students in Mrs. Redfield's Social Studies class used Skittles to simulate surplus in different civilizations. Each color of Skittle represented a different job early Mesopotamians might have had. They worked together to balance their community. The kids did amazing and had so much fun!
When the kids are away and storms are on their way, the teachers will play….pickleball! 🤣
Coach Harrison and Coach Watson are up on the roof again for an exciting announcement and a challenge for their students! ❤️ Can we do it?! Will Coach Harrison have to spend TWO nights wondering if there are bugs on the roof?!?! 😂
If your student hasn't signed up for their online giving page, you can do so right here: http://www2.heart.org/goto/discoveryintks
#DiscoveryCares American Heart Association - Kansas
If you listen closely as you pass the lost and found table, you can hear the tears of items missing their owners... 😭
Help us save some tears! Do you recognize any of these things and think they might belong to your student? Let us know (email [email protected]) and we'll make sure your student visits the lost and found and gets reconnected with their lost items! 😄 Anything not claimed by this Friday (2/25) will be donated and find a new home.
Who’s up for a challenge?! Coach Harrison and Coach Watson have challenged their students to show up BIG for their American Heart Association - Kansas fundraiser and are up for a night (or two) on the roof! Let’s do this! 👏🏽
#DiscoveryCares
The Discovery staff team had a special surprise for the students this morning to kick off the last day of the semester! 💃 They’ve got some impressive moves, but a student tried to upstage them!
Well that was fun! Great job today, Discovery! 💙 Have a safe, fun weekend. #DiscoveryCostumeRun
