💌 WANTED: PEN PALS FOR OUR FOURTH GRADERS! 🐯✉️

Do you enjoy getting a handwritten letter? We’re looking for Multigenerational volunteers to become Pen Pals with our fourth-grade students at Galion Intermediate School!

Our students are ready to sharpen their writing skills, ask questions, share stories, and build meaningful connections through a monthly letter-writing exchange with adult volunteers in our community.

❤️ Here’s how it works:

✉️ Exchange letters once a month, October/November through May.

💬 Share stories, hobbies, holiday traditions, favorite seasons, and more!

🐯 Help students practice writing while building friendships across generations.

🍦 Celebrate with a special Pen Pal Ice Cream Social at Galion Intermediate in the spring!

You don't have to be a professional writer — just willing to share a little of your time! Whether you can commit to one classroom or simply want to volunteer to write letters, we would love to hear from you.

Interested in becoming a Pen Pal? Contact Lisa Fisher, Fourth-Grade Teacher at Galion Intermediate School, to learn more!

Let's make someone's mailbox a little brighter! 💌🐯

Families, as the weather begins to change and temperatures become cooler, we want to remind everyone to please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather each day. Our students go outside for recess whenever weather conditions allow, so it is important that they are prepared to be outside. 🌤️ Please consider sending your child to school with a sweatshirt or light jacket, and as temperatures continue to drop, a coat will be an important part of their daily school attire. 🧥 📝 Please Label Clothing! We also want to remind families to label jackets, sweatshirts, coats, hats, and other belongings with your child's first AND last name. We always have a growing Lost & Found, and items are much easier to return to their owners when they are clearly labeled. First & Last Name = Easier to Find! ✔️ Thank you for helping us keep students comfortable, prepared, and ready each and every day! 🐾
