Dear Galatia JR High Parents,
Ho, Ho, Ho! We hope this festive message finds you and your loved ones in high spirits and good health. As the holiday season approaches, our junior high students are gearing up for some yuletide fun, but we need a bit of help from Santa's little helpers – that's you!
As we prepare to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, we've noticed that our supplies of Kleenex, hand sanitizer, and Clorox wipes are dwindling faster than Santa's cookie stash on Christmas Eve. Our wish is to keep our students happy, healthy, and ready to jingle all the way through the end of the school year.
🎄 Operation Tissue Tidings: Our students have been using tissues faster than Santa's reindeer can fly! To keep the sniffles and sneezes at bay, we're kindly asking for donations of extra-soft Kleenex tissues. The more, the merrier!
🎅 Sanitizer Sleigh Ride: Let's sleigh germs together! We're in need of hand sanitizers to keep our students' hands as clean as freshly fallen snow. Small bottles, big bottles, any size will do – they all add up to a healthier and happier school.
❄️ Wipe Away Winter Woes: Help us wipe away any worries by donating Clorox wipes. These magical wipes will assist us in keeping our classrooms sparkling clean, ensuring a winter wonderland of learning for our students.
If you're able to contribute to our festive supply drive, please send your donations with your child to school. Your support is greatly appreciated, and together, we'll make this holiday season a joyous and germ-free one for our junior high students!
Wishing you a holly, jolly holiday season,
The Junior High Teachers

Our Christmas Musical is Wednesday, December 20th at 9am. Our students have been working extremely hard so I hope you’re making plans to attend! Here are a few details about the concert.
1. Attire is “christmasy” (think red, green or
Christmas themed shirts. Dresses are fine too) However if your child is on the dance team then girls need to wear black leggings and a solid black t shirt (can turn it inside out if needed) and boys need to wear white tshirts with jeans.
2. If your child has a solo and would like the YouTube link, then please email me at lwinkleman@galatiak12.org and I will email you the link.
3. If your child signed up for a speaking part then they should have it memorized. Please encourage them to speak loudly, clearly and with excitement!
