With the opening of the new Goochland Elementary School and the revision of elementary school attendance boundaries, GCPS put together a group of school staff, division staff, family members, and a student to explore a mascot, logo, and school colors for the new school. With the importance of the James River to the community and the cute and playful characteristics of an otter, the group believed that a river otter fit the spirit of the new school and its students and staff. And, after several meetings, the group enthusiastically adopted the River Otter as the school’s new mascot! An otterly cute logo was developed using the new school colors of seafoam green, navy blue, and gold, and the GES River Otter was born!
Appreciating our first year teachers and celebrating excellence! Congratulations to Ms. McDaniel and Mrs. Costas-Saperstein!
