No School Tomorrow, January 10th! We don’t get many of these rare Texas snow days, but they sure bring out the kid in all of us! As children, we would dream of waking up to the magic words, “No school today!” Well… it’s here. You’ve got it now. Superintendent Shane Strickland took those famous grandparent tales to heart — you know the ones about walking barefoot to school in the snow, uphill both ways. Let’s just say… he gave it a try, and you’ll want to see how that turned out! 😂 Head over to our district’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SpringtownISD) to check out the post and enjoy a good laugh. Trust us — it’s worth it! Most importantly, take tomorrow to enjoy this unexpected gift of time. Whether you’re playing in the snow, sipping hot chocolate, or simply staying cozy indoors, make some memories. If you have kids, soak up these moments with them. The snow will melt, but the memories will last a lifetime. Stay warm, stay safe, and we’ll see you on Monday!

🧡What a wonderful day it was at Goshen Creek Elementary! 🎉 We were blessed to welcome all our students back to campus today and jump right into learning in 2025. We hope all our Goshen family stays safe, enjoys the beautiful snow, reads a great book, and makes precious memories with your family. We will be excited to welcome all of our families back & cannot wait to hear all of your stories.❄️📚💖 #everydayisagooddaytolearn! #GCESISTHEBEST! #SharpPines #DifferemceMakers
