Wildcat Volleyball fans, we need to fill the gym up Monday with Patriotic Spirit! Show that Red White and Blue as we support the team. The student section theme is USA/Country. Show the crowd what a Patriotic/Country Wildcat looks like. We shall see you there!
The wildcats Jr. High cross country team had a strong season opener this morning. It was much hotter and more humid than we were anticipating. Layla Anderson was just under her best time last season at 18:38. Randal Engels was right around his best time last season with a time of 14:20. Kiiryn Shull had a strong opening race with a time of 17:36. I can't wait to see what this season has in store! 🏃🏻🏃🏼🏃🏾♂️🏃🏼♂️🥵🔥💨👟 🐾 #galvaproud
Wildcat Nation: This week's weather was simply unpleasant. I have to commend our students on their ability to overcome that adversity. They far exceeded any expectation for learning in a building that bakes even with A/C in classrooms. I am so proud of the staff and students for working together to overcome those difficulties in order to engage in meaningful learning. I hope everyone takes the weekend to enjoy some better weather and rest their brains after a challenging week.

🍕🍔🌮🌭🥗 Wildcat Nation: We know your child is like us and wants to know what's for breakfast and lunch. By downloading our new Galva CUSD 224 App, you'll have the daily breakfast and lunch menu right at your fingertips! Today's lunch is beef nachos & refried beans.
Good Morning Wildcat Nation & Galva Community: I want to clarify that the District has not changed the name of the Annual Dale Collis Relays Track and Field Meet and has no intentions to do so, as previously reported. The Board of Education, by consent as presented to them, approved a name change for the previous student activity account (Dale Collis Relays) to " HS Track Invitationals" for use by the high school athletic department. A second activity account was renamed by consent to appropriately reflect the current school/parent organization's name as well. Thank you for your concern and understanding, and I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Joe Becker
Galva Superintendent of Schools
