Important Athletic Update! The Illinois Department of Public Health has issued rules and regulations that schools must follow in order to have sports this year. One rule is that all spectators must be 30 feet from the playing floor. Due to the limited size of our gyms, it is simply not possible for us to meet this rule. As a result, there will be NO SPECTATORS at any HOME games this year. This regulation is not something Galatia Schools can control, it is State policy. We know this is very disappointing but we are working on recording and/or live streaming games when feasible.
Attention HS Cheerleaders: if you are interested in being on the team this year, please contact Alex Jackson (618-499-4742) by 9:00 PM tomorrow (1/30).
Congratulations to the Galatia FFA parliamentary procedure teams, both varsity and junior varsity teams placed 1st in their divisions! They now move on to district competition. Good luck!
First Graders are 100 Days "Smarter" and "Older" today.
