The Portrait of a Tiger trait for November is Self-Disciplined.
Galion Tigers are self-disciplined, remaining ambitious and driven toward their goals. By engaging in positive and proactive behaviors, Galion Tigers demonstrate their ability to persevere through challenges and pursue a sound moral compass.
Being self-disciplined allows our Tigers to set and achieve goals in and out of the classroom.
Selected students and staff members who demonstrate this trait will be recognized at the November 19th Board of Education meeting. The meeting will be held at 6:30 in the Galion Middle School Media Center.
GIS did ALL the things this week 👏
There was a Pink Out, visit from Mrs. Aubrey for an animal escape room, Red Ribbon Week presentations by GHS, Leadership Clubs, staff trick-or-treating around the office, and everyone’s favorite: costume and party day!
Shew, the long weekend was definitely earned 🤪
The Galion High School Student Council is offering FREE babysitting for kiddos ages 3-12 from 3:00-6:00 in the high school gym during Parent/Teacher Conferences on Monday, November 4th AND Thursday, November 7th.

Hot dogs, pulled pork, mac & cheese, and shake ups will be available for purchase between 3:00-6:00. We hope this helps make your evening a little less hectic!
