During Connections Weekend, the GMS, GIS, and GPS lighthouse teams and GIS Safety Patrol members worked together to show the community their leadership skills. The GMS Lighthouse team trained our GIS and GPS tigers on how to serve our guests at the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast hosted at Galion Intermediate School. The audience was also serenaded by the students at GIS and GPS singing the Leader in Me song. GHS sent over artwork to display for the event as well. Mrs. Robbeloth and Mrs. Allerding were very proud of our students and thanks to the staff from the various buildings that volunteered their time as well.
WOW! In Mrs. Buzza's class Aiden Sumpter set a Wildly Important Goal to pass all of his math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) before his birthday this month and he did it! Mrs. Buzza said that she has never had a student do this so early in the year. Congrats Aiden for meeting your WIG! Mrs. Buzza and Mrs. Robbeloth are very proud of you.
This week some of our 3rd grade classes (Buzza, Duckworth, and Smith) had a visit from the Galion Public librarians.

GIS Families...Picture Retake Day will be October 17th. Please mark your calendars. This day is for those students who missed the original date or parents who purchased and needed the photos retaken.
Please call the school and ask for Jess Price if you have any questions about Picture Retake Day.
This week Mrs. Talbott's students Kayden Street and Grady Kildow learned about 3-D printing in our Makerspace with Mr. Lehman, after reading about the World Trade Center.
GIS is excited that our rock climbing wall is up and our kids are loving it! Mr. Willeke is teaching classes during the PE special, the safe way to use the newest addition to his class. Students begin to the right of the picture going across the monkey bars, then horizontally across the rock wall not to go past the top line, and make their way through the net to finish at the second rock wall. Students will only be able to use this part of the gym when the mats are on the ground and supervised by an adult such as Mr. Willeke. Also, it is not mandatory that your child uses the rock wall if they are not comfortable. Mr. Willeke offers open gym choices for those students such as jump rope, basketball, running or other types of exercises so they can continue to work on their physical wellness too.
GIS is proud to announce the Habit 1: Be Proactive winners for the month of September. Each homeroom teacher recommended one student from their class that exemplified the habit for the month. Being proactive means taking responsibility for our words, actions, and choices. Students received an award and Habit Leader t-shirt to wear with pride. Mrs. Robbeloth and Mrs. Duffey are very proud of these young leaders.

5th Graders from Ms. Prince and Ms. Showecker's class passed out boxes for our Socktober Collection going on from 10/3-10/31. Students at GIS are collecting new socks for a good cause. More information coming in the October family newsletter- please look there for details. We are trying to out do our last year goal by providing over 5400 new pairs of socks.
GIS Families we hope to see you tonight for Elementary Night at the HS Football game.

Galion Intermediate is celebrating Start with Hello Week! Start with Hello Week starts Monday, September 19 and runs all week until Friday, September 23. Start with Hello Week brings attention to the growing epidemic of social isolation and empowers young people to create a culture of inclusion and connectedness within their school, youth origination, and community. This is a great way to connect what we are doing in the building to our district and building mission statement as well. Please see the flyer for what the students can wear each day.
For Monday- comfy clothes need to be school appropriate- students can wear their pajama tops/pants, sweatshirts/sweatpants and basketball shorts this day only (dressing like a gym teacher) Thank you for your understanding.
Have a great weekend everyone- can't wait to see everyone next week to see what they wear!
Mrs. Robbeloth
GIS families...I wanted to remind everyone that spirit wear is only for tops/hoodies. All pants and shorts must conform to the dress code in the GIS Student Handbook. No sweat pants or basketball shorts are allowed unless given permission for a "reward" by the administration team. After today, this will become a dress code violation. Thank you for your understanding.
The PTO has framed the yearly student art pictures for each grade level from the 2021-22 school year. These works of art are are now hanging in the hallways of the Primary and Intermediate buildings along with the art from previous years.
Congratulations to the following students for having their art work chosen: KG Macie Wolfersberger, 1st Cooper Main, 2nd Quinn Bailey, 3rd Jocelyn Glass, 4th Jaquelyn Young, 5th Addison Parsons. We are looking forward to another great year of Art projects this year.
Just a reminder GIS families...no school on Monday. We hope you enjoy your Labor Day with your families. Can't wait to see you on Tuesday.
Mrs. Robbeloth and staff
Ms. Garver's class was working on reading and making something from a recipe. They synergized as a class to make cinnamon applesauce. They told Mrs. Robbeloth that they used apples, water, sugar, cinnamon, and even a little bit of lemon to create their Friday treat. It sure was scrumptious! Great job everyone.
Great things are happening at GIS! Students in Mrs. Stinehour's 3rd grade class have been working hard on earning their classroom Tiger Paws. A class can earn a Tiger Paw for exhibiting the 3 R's (Ready, Respectful, and Responsible). They can earn these Tiger Paws from any staff member in the building. At 5 Tiger Paws, they were able to wear jeans for the day. As you can see, they are well on their way to the next incentive. It's a GREAT day to be a Tiger at GIS! Way to go students- Mrs. Robbeloth and Duffey are proud of you.
