ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Happy Tuesday, EAGLE NATION!!!!!! As you embrace the morning, let gratitude fill your heart, determination guide your actions, and the beauty of a new day inspire you to achieve greatness.  The Nest was full of action last night from Track to Softball to Baseball, so make sure to check out the results and highlights.  It is going to be a warm one today, so stay hydrated and have an umbrella if you'll be out and about tonight with the possibility of severe thunderstorms later in the evening.  April Showers bring May flowers.  Let us hope for some rain tonight.  There is a lot currently happening and even more coming up as we near the end.  There is a lot of action in the next couple of weeks. Check out the schedule below for the season (please know that weather can cause dates and times to be subject to change for games and events). 

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!


Help Us Shape the Next Capital Project

We invite Galway CSD community members to help us shape the next Capital Project by participating in the following public input sessions in the Junior/Senior High School Library:
  • Thursday, May 15, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. 
  • Saturday, May 24, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. for an abbreviated session called Coffee and Questions during the Galway Booster Club Car Wash and Can Drive fundraiser
Following the defeat of the Capital Project that was proposed in December 2023, the Board of Education Facilities Committee members have been listening to residents’ concerns and discussing the infrastructure needs that were not included in the 2016 Capital Project. 
  • The majority of these needs were identified as critical in the district’s most recent Building Condition Survey (completed in 2020) 
  • Some of these needs include work that voters passed in the 2021 Small Capital Project that focused on the bus garage, but could not be completed due to cost escalation during and after the COVID-19 pandemic
For archival information on all of our recent Capital Projects, and information on the work that is being considered for the next Capital Project, please click on the Facilities webpage here
The Galway Softball team is doing a hanging basket fundraiser.  If interested in supporting, please contact one of the players.  Orders are due by May 1st.

The Galway Athletic Booster Club will be holding a Bake Sale, Bottle Drive, and Carwash fundraiser on Saturday, May 24th, and Sunday, May 25th, from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. both days.
