Students took part in the inaugural Community Give Back Day in December under the direction of sixth grade team leaders Jessica Klingelhoefer and Paige Nelson. Klingelhoefer and Nelson came up with the idea as a way to promote Goodrich\u2019s TICK (Thoughtful, Invested, Cooperate and Kind) expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sixth graders cut out paper snowflakes to hang in their school hallway, made digital wallpaper art for teachers, created buttons for family members and wrote letters to North Gate Garden Estates residents. Goodrich Sixth Grade Administrator Amanda Krivda said everyone enjoyed the projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTeachers on both sixth grade teams organized supplies, activities and instructional connections to provide students an experience of giving back to the Goodrich community \u2013 building and beyond \u2013 during the holiday season,\u201d Krivda said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Dragons beamed when they received thank you notes and letters from residents during the third quarter. Not only did writing letters brighten the days of everyone at North Gate, but it taught Goodrich students about the benefits of building community bonds in Lincoln.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Krivda said Goodrich will continue the Community Give Back Day tradition for sixth graders on the last day of the first semester in future school years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"707\" src=\"https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-1-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"Three Goodrich Middle School students read thank you notes they received from North Gate Garden Estates residents.\" class=\"wp-image-674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-1-1024x707.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-1-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-1-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-1-1536x1060.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-1.jpg 2017w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"713\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-2-713x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A Goodrich Middle School student reads a letter he received from a North Gate Garden Estates resident.\" class=\"wp-image-677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-2-713x1024.jpg 713w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-2-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-2-768x1104.jpg 768w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-2.jpg 1069w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"718\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-3-718x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A Goodrich Middle School sixth grader smiles as he reads a thank you note from a North Gate Garden Estates resident.\" class=\"wp-image-680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-3-718x1024.jpg 718w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-3-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-3-768x1095.jpg 768w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-3.jpg 1077w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-4-1024x674.jpg\" alt=\"A group of sixth graders at Goodrich Middle School look at thank you notes they received from North Gate Garden Estates residents.\" class=\"wp-image-683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-4-1024x674.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-4-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-4-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-4.jpg 1331w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-5-1024x676.jpg\" alt=\"Goodrich Middle School sixth graders smile while holding thank you notes from North Gate Garden Estates residents.\" class=\"wp-image-686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-5-1024x676.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-5-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-5-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/home.lps.org\/kindness\/files\/2025\/04\/Goodrich-Acts-of-Kindness-photo-5.jpg 1085w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goodrich Middle School sixth graders learned about the value of community through a special project with North Gate Garden Estates.
