The Marching Wildcats were out of this world! Great job!
The Galva Jr/Sr High Performing Arts Boosters will meet this autumn on October 14th, November 4th, and December 9th. Meetings are at 5:30pm in Mrs. Rodseth's room (#16). Adults with children in Jr/Sr High band, choir, or drama are invited to join the PABoosters and help the arts thrive in our school.
Due to a variety of reasons Parker Kaiser was the lone competitor for the Jr. High Cross Country team today at Lake Storey in Galesburg. This course has a very challenging section through the woods! Parker battled with the main pack of runners and had a great race, finishing in 16:19! We look forward to see what she, and her teammates, can do next week as we run twice in the peoria area!
This afternoon in Geneseo, the Marching Wildcats compete at the Maple Leaf Classic. Our Marching Band goes on at approximately 3:30pm. Good luck!
