Celebrations and Looking Ahead
As we wrap up the final two weeks of school, we want to sincerely thank you for the opportunity to work with your students this year. We have been so impressed by their smarts, talents, and grit, and it has been a joy to watch their growth. These last weeks will include a balance of field trips, fun end‑of‑year activities, and the completion of academic work as we prepare report cards. We appreciate your continued support in encouraging students to follow routines, stay focused, and do their best so they can experience maximum success during this exciting time. We’re also happy to share that IXL will remain available to all students over the summer to help them continue sharpening their skills—more information, including prize opportunities, will be coming soon! Please be sure to check the calendar below for all upcoming events and important dates.
Finally, we’d love to celebrate together as a Bulldog Community! Please join us for the annual Galileo Community Carnival this Thursday, May 14th, from 4:30–6:30 PM. Come enjoy food, games, prizes, and friendship—and feel free to bring your family, friends, and neighbors. All are welcome, and we hope to see you there as we celebrate another successful school year together!
