Let's get ready to READ 📚 help us honor Dr. Seuss' legacy in supporting early childhood reading!
We will have a spirit week to celebrate AND if hit our goal (students read 50,000 pages), 5 students will get to silly string and tackle Mr. Dick! 📖
These students rolllllled through February without any minors or majors and got to enjoy some time at the Tigers Den! 🛼
If there is one thing I know it's our Makerspace is always doing something exciting -- from fuse beads, 3D pens, Neec launchers, strawbies, K'Nex, and more! 🤩

Exciting News! Earlier this year, our district formed an AI Task Force comprised of teachers and administrators from all grade levels to develop a framework for how we will use AI in our schools. As we navigate this evolving technology, we want to hear from YOU—our parents and community members!
Your input is invaluable in shaping responsible and effective AI use in education. Please take a moment to share your thoughts by completing our survey: 🔗 Survey Link: https://bit.ly/GCS_AITaskForce
Thank you for being a part of this important conversation! #AITaskForce #FutureofEducation #CommunityVoice

The Galion Intermediate School needs your help in participating in a fun community service project. Students are bringing in unopened boxes of cereal to donate to our local food pantry, Ohio Heartland Community Action. As a fun bonus, we will set up the boxes like dominoes through the halls of the building as a school-wide Cereal Box Domino Challenge before donating them. The student who brings in the most boxes in each grade level will be the one to start the chain reaction.
How You Can Help:
Donate unopened cereal boxes – Any brand or size is welcome! We are asking all students to donate at least ONE box. You can either send it in with your student or drop it off in the Intermediate office any day between now and Thursday, March 13th.
We knew investigating owl pellets with Mrs. Awbrey would be educational, but fun? YES according to our 5th-grade classes! 🦉
Reminder that this Friday, March 7, ends the third grading period, and it will be a 2-hour early dismissal. Let’s finish strong, Tigers!
The Tiger trait for March is Balanced. Our hope and goal for balance Tigers is that they make a conscious effort to prioritize and create equilibrium in personal, academic, and emotional demands. These efforts guide them to make healthy choices when dividing their time between academic responsibilities, friends, and family.
Maintaining balance through their ability to organize and self-regulate in daily life develops skills to confront feelings of overwhelmedness and stress as adults.
The March newsletter is packed with exciting updates and important reminders as we head into a busy month! With state testing just around the corner, students and teachers alike are gearing up for the challenge. There's a great sense of anticipation in the air as everyone prepares to showcase their hard work and dedication.

Our team of bus drivers thank you for doing your part in keeping us all safe while we transport our students to and from school. Complying with the RED STOP sign during loading and unloading, giving us room to make wide turns, and watching your speed around bus stops are all ways you can help us be safe. We appreciate your willingness to follow these guidelines.
