Ms. Moss's classroom had the BEST time celebrating Glow Day today! ✨

Students came dressed in their brightest neon colors, and they transformed their classroom with black lights and glowing activities all day long! They practiced reading with flashlights, reviewed their "glowing" math skills, and completed lots of fun glow-themed learning activities.

The students showed great teamwork, creativity, and enthusiasm while making learning extra bright and memorable. Such a fun way to celebrate all of the hard work they’ve put in this year! 😎✨. #galesvillepride

🎓✨ FULL CIRCLE MOMENT! ✨🎓

Today, our hallways were filled with high-fives, big smiles, and a few happy tears as the Galesville Elementary Class of 2026 came back home for their traditional Senior Walk! 🎒➡️🎓

It feels like just yesterday these seniors were sitting at our tiny desks, learning their ABCs, and running around the playground. Seeing them walk through our halls in their caps and gowns—cheered on by our current students and emotional teachers—was absolutely magical.

To our former little learners and soon-to-be high school graduates: We are so incredibly proud of the leaders, athletes, artists, and thinkers you have become. Always remember where your journey started! 💙❤️ #galesvillepride

🎨🎻 Art, Music, and Red Hawk Pride! Our 5th-grade adventurers took their learning on the road today! Our GE explorers headed across the river to Minneapolis for an incredible day of culture and inspiration.

From the iconic sculptures at the Walker Art Center to the breathtaking sounds of the Minnesota Orchestra, our students represented Galesville Elementary with excellence with several comments from others on the great manners our students displayed. It was a day filled with "oohs," "aahs," and plenty of creative sparks! #galesvillepride

On Tuesday morning, the Galesville Elementary kindergarten classes took a short walk over to Zion Lutheran Church to spend some time with the Zion Lutheran Quilters. The students got to see firsthand how these kind-hearted ladies turn donated fabric into all kinds of beautiful quilts.

The students were wide-eyed at just how many quilts come together each Tuesday morning down in the church basement. Every stitch has a purpose—these quilts are shared with the police department, first responders, and the fire department to help folks going through tough times. Some even make their way to other parts of the country, spreading a little warmth and kindness wherever they land. #galesvillepride

Our 4K explorers, led by Ms. Schock's creativity, took on a legendary STEAM challenge this week! After reading the classic tale of the Three Billy Goats Gruff, our young engineers put their thinking caps on to help the goats cross safely.

Using a variety of materials, students designed and built their own bridges. They had to consider:

Stability: Will it hold the weight of a goat?

Design: Is it high enough to keep the troll underneath?

Creativity: How can we make it sturdy and strong?

At GE, we believe play is the best way to learn. Watching these students collaborate and problem-solve proves that you're never too young to be an engineer! #galesvillepride
