At Galion City Schools, we believe strong relationships are the foundation of our schools. As part of our restorative practices, we emphasize proactive community building. Proactive community building looks like morning circles, team-building activities, celebrating diversity, and regular check-ins. Community building matters because it creates a sense of belonging for every student and builds trust between students and staff.
