Wildcats Volleyball vs LaMoille

Galva Elementary School continues its focus on great attendance for our students. In addition to our weekly and quarterly incentives, we have planned our Semester One Attendance Incentive! Please refer to the flyer below for details on this fun opportunity!

Next week, Galva Elementary School is teaming up with Galva Jr/Sr High School to help our friends at St. Jude Research Hospital! Please consider helping in any way that you can. Please note that on Wednesday the bake sale will only be at the Jr/Sr HS and not at the Elementary School.

Wildcat Boys Golf is headed to Regionals. Good Luck!!

Wildcats Volleyball at Knoxville

The high school cross country team had a great time competing at Furrow Farm in El Paso today! This is a true and challenging cross country course, nicknamed The Beast, with 4 muddy creek crossings and many large hills! Charlotte Farmer lost both of her shoes in the first creek crossing and finished the race in socks! We won't talk about her time, but when you run two and a half miles in socks and keep a good pace until the last mile, who needs a good time. Let's talk about her perseverance!! The boys ran well and finished covered in mud! I'm not sure the picture shows how filthy they were. Bryant Jeffrey was prepared with his swim goggles and finished in 22:42! Randal Engels finished in 23:13! John Clemons conquered the beast and ran one of his best times this season, finishing in 26:40! Great job, team!!
