We want to offer a huge congratulations to Ellie Sellers for finishing 4th in the state in high jump!

Congratulations to TJ Conner on commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army! It was truly an honor and privilege to administer the Oath of Office to a former Galva Jr./Sr. High School student and 2022 GHS graduate. Thank you for your willingness to lead and serve this great Nation. Congratulations, Lieutenant Conner!

On Wednesday evening Mrs. Dooley and Mr. Freeman's 4th grade classes held a Living Wax Museum Night. Students chose an individual who played a shaping role in history and reported on that person by making a poster board of their life. They dressed the part and took on the persona of that historical figure. Press the "button" and those individuals came back to life with students telling their story! A job well done in bringing history back to life!

Tomorrow evening is our annual All-Unit Band and Choir concert at Wiley Park! Concert begins at 6:00pm (call time for students is 5:30pm). Bring a lawn chair and enjoy a nice evening of music outside!
