It is my privilege to welcome our students and parents back to what promises to be a fantastic year of learning at Gobles Elementary School. Although we will greatly miss the eight teachers who retired at the end of last year, I am confident that the new teachers we were fortunate to hire this summer will be excellent additions to our dedicated teaching staff. We welcome five new teachers for this school year: Mrs. Kristen Pennington-kindergarten, Ms. Tiffany Schafer-kindergarten, Ms. Becca Kunselman-second grade, Mrs. LeAnn Seiler-third grade, and Ms. Lindsay Meulman-sixth grade.

 For years the State of Michigan has argued that a main objective of high school education should be "college readiness" for students, making sure students are ready to do college-level work when they graduate from high school. During the 2009/2010 school year, students in Pam Westcott's Advanced Placement (AP) English class took college readiness to an unprecedented level of success, with 75% of her students eligible for college credit, compared to 58.6% of students nationwide in English Literature in 2009.
To be college ready, and to be eligible to earn college credit, a student must earn a score of three (3) or higher on the end-of-course exam. Twelve out of the sixteen Gobles students who participated in the exam earned a college ready score.

The early August morning was already warm and getting hotter when marching band student field commander Valerie Hirsch instructed band members to put their instruments down to take a lap around the band's practice lot at Gobles High School. The members of the band immediately did as Hirsch instructed, running around the parking lot a few times to get their legs and arms loose and ready for the second day of band camp, ten hours of marching and playing to rehearse the band's 2010 marching show.

The sounds of the class song started up, and the Class of 2010 started dancing, all the way out of the gym and into the bright sunshine of the afternoon, and their futures as high school graduates.
