Galva CUSD 224

Thank you to all of the family and friends who came out today for our Pre K graduation. A huge shout out to Kylee Glaser for the snacks and juice that the kids received today. Also, to Destiny Lumpkins for the backdrop and the buttons. This event could not have happened without the support from each and everyone who came today. We will miss each and every one of the kids and wish them well in kindergarten.

The end of an era. The 1600m run was Bryant's final race wearing a Galva Uniform. It was bittersweet, but we are so thankful for all the years he has dedicated to the track and Cross Country programs. Way to PR tonight and go out on top.
