☀️🐯 Keep the Summer Fun Going! 🧩🎨
Summer is the perfect time to relax, explore, and continue learning through everyday experiences!
Each week features one simple, low-prep activity designed to encourage movement, creativity, problem-solving, and quality family time—all while helping children build important developmental skills.
From rolling down a hill to baking together or creating with sidewalk chalk, these playful activities help strengthen coordination, fine motor skills, independence, and confidence in ways that feel like pure fun. After all, some of the most meaningful learning happens when children are simply playing, exploring, and spending time with the people they love. 💙🧡
We hope this month's calendar inspires your family to make memories, try something new, and enjoy every moment of summer together.
Have fun, stay active, and Go Tigers! 🐯☀️🧡💙

Last week at our GEA End-of-Year Banquet, we had the privilege of honoring not only our incredible retiring teachers, but also remembering someone very special, Marsha Rundell. ❤️
In loving remembrance of Marsha, GEA purchased and planted a beautiful flower outside of Galion Intermediate School — a small but meaningful tribute to someone who touched the lives of so many. May it serve as a lasting reminder of the care, kindness, and impact she shared with our school community. 🌸
