We want to extend our condolences to the family of John Carrasca. John was a long time custodian at Galva High School. If you know where to look, you can still find his handwriting on objects around the building. You will be missed John, and thank you for your long time service.

Braden, Ryanne, Ciara, and Allison were invited to spend the day at the Rotary District Conference. They presented a breakout session about our projects and activities, met lots of new friends, and were even able to help with a service project for Midwest Missions making PDKs (Personal Dignity Kits). A million thanks to Rotary Club of Galva for their support in making today possible!

The high school cross country team competed at the LTC meet at midland on Thuraday! The girls saved some energy for a sprint at the end and finished in 28:56. The boys had a great race and both set new personal recorseconds cutting around 10 seconds off of their previous best times. Both of their previous personal records were on the flat Detweiller course. Bryant Jeffrey finished in 19:19 and Randal Engels finished in 21:47 on the hillier midland course!
