Kennesaw Goddard School Celebrates Memory of Teacher; Hosts Science Fair in Her Honor on March 24

Beloved Goddard School of Kennesaw Pre K teacher, Ms. Jane Matthews, passed away unexpectedly on March 21, 2011. On Saturday, March 24th, 2012 (10AM -12 PM) at The Goddard School (3190 Blue Springs Road , Kennesaw , GA 30144) will host the Jane Matthews Science Fair in Memory of Ms. Jane, who founded the School’s Annual Science Fair.

More than 35 PreK and Kindergarten student science projects will be showcased, where leaders from the community will judge the projects for creativity, originality, research and presentation, to award select the winners. The younger children up to the age of 3 years will be honoring Ms. Jane by using their imagination to create individual masterpieces of art that will be showcased in an Art Exhibition.

  • Ms. Jane Matthews, creator of the schools’ annual science fair, passed away unexpectedly, and had asked for a school bench to be placed outside her classroom so that she could keep an eye on her children.
  • Kavitha Erathara, owner The Goddard School, said Ms. Jane was a dedicated and passionate teacher who gave so much to our school and her students. To celebrate her spirit and passion for educating children, Kavitha named the science fair after her and dedicated a space where she can continue to keep a watch on her kids.
  • In addition to students, parents, and The Goddard School staff, others in attendance will be Ms. Jane’s husband, mother, sisters and brothers to hand out the awards at the end of the science fair.
