Thank you to all the families that came. A special thank you to all of my helpers. We will be selling T-Shirts for the play to all students, staff, and parents.

Attention: all games and extra-curricular events for tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 3rd are canceled. thanks.
Bearcats, the decision to have school tomorrow or not was a tougher decision this afternoon. Many roads are much safer to travel, but some portions of bus routes, and many driveways where students walk to get on a bus are still ice covered. The region will see low temperatures tonight causing refreezing and the potential of black ice tomorrow morning. Based on these factors, Galatia Schools will not be in session on Friday, February 3, 2023. See everyone on Monday.
