Gamestop Kellogg School Kellogg School makes Goleta the Good Land. Kellogg School is an adventurous school because of its exciting school programs. Our art teacher teaches us perspective and how to do sculpture. The PE teachers make sure you make your mile time as fast as you can. Our science teacher does what she can to make science fun. The music teacher helps us with our assemblies. We have energetic teachers. They make everything fun all year, and they are willing to help kids after school. They offer a homework club. There are also fun programs after school that include chess, track, future scientists and engineers, and scouts. It is more than a school; it is a community center.

Goleta Beach Goleta Beach makes Goleta the Good Land because it is a fun, relaxing place that everyone can enjoy. There is lots of free parking, but the beach is so long it’s never too crowded. You can see lots of entertaining animals jumping in and out of the water or go on boats. From the shore, you can see the Channel Islands. There is also a restaurant and a park on the beach. The water at Goleta Beach is great for swimming. The surf is just right to learn how to surf. I like to go kayaking with my family on nice calm days or just play in the water when the waves are bigger. Goleta Beach has a lot

someone wanted to know a great place to have a fun time, I would say that Goleta beach is perfect. Goleta Beach is a great place for ocean lovers to find crab legs, beautiful shells, and lobster tails. Goleta Beach is both beautiful and peaceful. I think that the water feels the best when I swim on summer days and it is hot. The playground is the perfect place for both older and younger kids. If you don’t want to go on the beach, you can just sit under a tree on the grass and read or have a picnic. The beach also has a great pier for fishers or sightseers. The beach is one of the only beaches in California where the parking is free. If you get hungry, you can go to a great restaurant right on the beach. The calm surf is perfect for swimming. The waves are perfect for boogie boarding and paddle boarding. Goleta Beach is a great beach. —Kellen T.

Goleta Barbers One of the things that makes Goleta the Good Land is Goleta Barbers. It is a really good barber shop on Hollister. The workers there are talkative with each other and the customers. My friend Everardo got a star haircut from Goleta Barbers. It is cool, so of course I get my haircut there. It’s quick and easy. They make unique designs for your hair. It’s fun there because they are usually watching TV, and they talk to you. Goleta Barbers are good at what they do. You feel good while you are there and look good when you leave. —Enzo U.

Santa Cruz Market Santa Cruz market makes Goleta a better place and maybe even unique. The Santa Cruz is a good place to get your groceries, vegetables, fruits, and fresh meat. The food in the market is fresh and grown in local farms. The Santa Cruz is like my house because it has everything I enjoy for food. The workers are very friendly and generous. Some products may be from Mexico. There are spices and flavorings like dried peppers and habaneros that other stores don’t have. Cilantro is always fresh and affordable. There are all kinds of vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, and onions, and there are fruits like bananas, oranges, strawberries, melons, and kiwi. Many Mexican things are found at the market. Santa Cruz Market gives Goleta an international flare and makes it the Good Land. —Erik V.

Beachside Restaurant Have you ever been to Beachside restaurant? Beachside is a delightful restaurant. It has a spectacular view of the beach and delicious food. If I had to recommend what to get there, it would be the clam chowder bread bowl. Also, Beachside has a very fancy setup. If you go there at night, you can see all of the lights on the beach and look at the waves crashing down next to you. These are most of the reasons that Beachside is a magnificent place in Goleta. —Cami V.

Goleta Lemon Festival I think that one of the best things in Goleta is the Lemon Festival. My mom is the President of the Goleta Chamber of Commerce, so
