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!

The High School softball game scheduled for tonight, 5/13, at Princeville has been canceled.

The Galva Girls Jr. high track team had some amazing accomplishments at our sectional on Saturday!
Of course we need to congratulate our state qualifier, Ellie Sellers! She qualified in all three of her events (100 m, 100 hurdles, and high jump) by placing 1st! She also ran her season's best time in 100 m, finishing in 13.92 s.
Ellory Glasser also had a huge day finishing 2nd in 200 m and long jump! She set new personal bests in both events. She ran her 200 m in 31.32 s and jumped 3.92 m in long jump!
Ceci Appell ran her season's best time in 100 m, 16.36 s and she set a new personal best in 400 m, 1:19.79!
Chloe Anderson set a new personal best in shot and discuss. She threw 5.10 m in shot and 13.96 m at disc!
Parker Kaiser ran her season's best time in the 1600 and was just over her personal best, with a time of 6:57.27!
Lastly the 8th grade girls 4x100 (Ceci Appell/Ellory Glaser/Lola Leaf/Sam Fox) set a new best time of 1:04.13!
Congrats on a great season ladies, we're proud of you!
