It's been a busy and fun FFA week with dress up days and activities. Today, FFA members cooked pancakes and sausage for staff and students and some of our members are competing at public speaking tonight!
Parents,
We have a student experiencing a medical need in the grade school building that required we call an ambulance. The student is being treated by medical staff. If medical personnel are still on the scene at dismissal time students will exit out of the playground gate. Please make every effort to stay clear of medical personnel and their vehicles.
Galatia Summer Youth League will hold in person signups this Saturday, February 25, 9am to 12pm in the high school cafeteria. Forms also went home from school Tuesday and can be returned to school. Cost is $45 per player. Remember, you must be signed up by March 11 to make sure uniforms can be ordered in a timely fashion. ⚾️ 🥎 We are looking forward to a great season!
