The second-grade class enjoyed Kristine Anderson of the State Bank of Toulon joining our class today for our Junior Achievement. We are learning about jobs in our community.
Second grade enjoyed Mrs Janson coming in with Ag in the Classroom to teach us about Recycling. We enjoyed a story, a game, and making a recycling bracelet.
Thank you Mr. Norway for making sure that everyone had glasses to view the solar eclipse! Second grade loved this opportunity.

Mrs. Main's first period Agriculture Students are identifying our new chicks this morning.

During state testing, Mrs. Corkill's 2nd-grade class supported and encouraged Mrs. Dooley's 4th-graders. Before the break, they celebrated together by playing Easter Bingo.
2nd graders nailed the snack game for eclipse day as they enjoyed some Capri Sun and Sun Chips. It made their viewing experience a bit more special! ☀️ 🌞
Students took science class to a different level today as they were able to experience a solar eclipse with nearly 90% totality. Many students utilized the provided glasses and even created eclipse masks to go along with their glasses. It was a great learning experience for everyone involved! #GalvaProud
Our Galva Elementary Students enjoyed being able to pop outside to see the Solar Eclipse today!
Parker nailed the wardrobe selection for this rare Eclipse Day! Happy Eclipse Day to everyone!
