Reminder! Picture Day is Monday, Oct. 10th.
Wishing Mrs. Monica Shifley a very happy retirement. Mrs. Monica taught 2nd grade at Galion Primary School. Today ends her 22 year teaching career.
Congratulations Mrs. Shifley. We wish you the very best.
We are excited to share that for tonight's game and the remainder of our football games, there will be a special sections for all of our elementary and middle school students. The Tiger Squad is our newly formed student sections where Ms. Perry and a few GMS students will lead the section in cheers, play games, and had out prizes. If you plan to go to the game you have three choice of where you are REQUIRED to be:
1. You and your friends can report to the Tiger Squad section in the upper left hand corner of the stadium where you are required to stay until you are dismissed at half time and then at the end of the game.
2. If your family belongs to the Grid Iron, you can report there and stay until half time and then the end of the game. Only grid iron members are permitted in this area.
3. or you MUST be seated with an adult.
Students are NOT permitted to be running around inside of the stadium and must be accompanied by an adult if you are not in one of the three locations above. If you are not in one of these three areas you will be escorted to your parents, requested to leave, possibly banned from future games, and may be in trouble at school as the same rules that apply at school also apply at the stadium.
We want you to have a good time with your friends and be safe. We hope to see you tonight at the Tiger Squad where tonight's theme is to wear all black! Looking forward to seeing you at the game - GO TIGERS!
