My name is Radar and I am the School Facility Dog (SFD) for Galion Primary School. I am excited to get the school year started and meet all the staff and students of Galion Primary. First, I want to tell everyone a little bit about me. I am a two year old Labrador Retriever and I have been training almost my entire life to be a School Facility Dog. I have been training with the great people at The Ability Center in Sylvania , Ohio. (https://abilitycenter.org/assistance-dogs/) This is a very successful program and they have over 45 dogs working in Schools around Toledo and Northwest Ohio. One aspect of my training was working with different handlers in different schools. I finished my training in the spring at Fort Meigs Elementary School. The school was amazing and I loved getting to know all the students. My handler, Mrs. Sparks, taught me a lot and I will miss her and all the students at Fort Meigs!
I am excited to be at Galion Primary and thankful for the Galion Education Community Foundation for giving Galion Primary a grant to obtain a School Facility Dog. With the grant, the Primary School was able to get an SFD (ME!), training of 4 handlers and continued training and support throughout my time in Galion. I enjoyed getting to know my handlers (Mr. Staton, Ms. Adams, Mrs. Perry & Mrs. Skinner) and I think I taught them quite a bit during our training together.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!

We’re excited to welcome Isabella to the Galion Intermediate team as our new Behavioral Educational Assistant!

She enjoys spending her free time going on walks and shopping with friends, and she’s already making connections with students and staff throughout the building. In the spring, you’ll also find her coaching track at Galion Middle School, where she shares her love for running and teamwork.
An interesting fact about Isabella — she’s no stranger to success on the track herself!

Staff Spotlight: Welcoming a New Face to Galion Intermediate
We’re excited to shine this week’s Staff Spotlight on a proud Galion alumna who has returned to her roots as a 3rd grade teacher at Galion Intermediate! After graduating from The Ohio State University, she knew she wanted to come back and give back to the community that shaped her. With a passion for learning and a heart for kids, she’s thrilled to be in the classroom, inspiring the next generation of Tigers.
When she’s not creating a fun and engaging learning environment, you’ll likely find her outdoors enjoying the sunshine, exploring new places, or curled up with a good book. She’s the oldest of two, with a younger sister she’s incredibly close to. And yes — she believes you’re never too old for a little Disney magic. We’re lucky to have her energy, creativity, and love for Galion in our building!
