We had some extra help in the kindergarten classrooms this week! As a winner of our Environmental Day Fundraiser, Hadley stepped into the role of Kindergarten Helper and she was busy from the first bell!
Our guest leader spent her day:
📖 Reading stories to fellow classrooms (keeping that GE Reads spirit alive!).
🥛 Assisting with the snack milk routine like a pro.
🌳 Leading the way by taking our learning outside to enjoy the fresh Galesville air.
Thank you, Hadley, for your hard work and for showing us all what it means to Grow, Excel, and Thrive! #galesvillepride
Red Hawk Pride is soaring today! 🦅✨
A huge shout-out to Ally, one of our fantastic 5th-grade leaders, for being recognized as a Random Acts of Connection t-shirt winner in the County! 👕🏆 We also want to give a big round of applause to Justine, who was named a runner-up! 🌟
This program, sponsored by Trempealeau County Human Services, shows our commitment to positive connections and makes Galesville Elementary a better place for all of our explorers. #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

These amazing students were recognized this month for consistently soaring high and demonstrating our three core values:
✅ Being Safe
✅ Being Respectful
✅ Being Responsible
Whether it’s helping a friend on the playground, staying focused during academics, or showing great leadership in the hallways, these explorers make Galesville Elementary proud every single day. #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

It’s been an incredible day at Galesville Elementary! Today, our winners from the Environmental Day Silent Auction officially took over the school, and our Red Hawks proved they are ready to lead! 🦅
Check out some of today’s highlights:
Principal for the Day: Our student principal was busy leading morning announcements, keeping things safe during recess duty, and managing the daily "expedition" of school life!
Classroom Takeovers:Future educators were in the making as they ran Mrs. Lavery’s 4K class with great energy!
First grade was in excellent hands with our student leaders in Mrs. Naughton’s room.
Staff Lounge Takeover: The students officially claimed the lounge as their own for the day!
Special Lunch: A group of lucky leaders enjoyed a celebratory lunch with Ms. Andre.

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

Reading Magic & Vibrant Vocab at GE!
What happens when you mix books about strong women, unicorns, and a few lucky leprechauns? You get another unforgettable GE Reads day!
A huge Red Hawk "Thank You" to our fantastic guest readers, including Mr. Oliver and Mr. Peterson, for sharing their time and love of reading with our adventurers today!
But the fun didn't stop at the books. It was also Vocab Dress-Up Day, and our students and staff truly outdid themselves! We saw some incredible (and educational!) representations, including:
• 🌈 Vibrant colors everywhere!
• ⬛ Monochromatic masterpieces!
• 🪄 Magical ensembles!
• 🐎 Equestrian excellence!
We love seeing our students grow their vocabularies while having so much fun. #galesvillepride
Did you know that Galesville Elementary's garden is in its 18th growing season? Students have been kicking off the growing season over the last few weeks - a tradition since 2009. #GalesvillePride.
1st graders from Ettrick and Galesville Elementary had a great time at the Trempealeau Wildlife Refuge in March. Oh how the weather has changed.
Carol Howard, retired Galesville Elementary teacher, and Winnie, an English Setter, visited GE Kindergartners to teach about taking care of pets and being safe around animals when out in the community. Our students are so fortunate to have the opportunity to learn important life skills from this classroom veteran and her well-behaved dog. #galesvillepride
We are so proud of our February Red Hawk Heroes! These students exemplify what it means to be safe, respectful, and responsible every day. #galesvillepride
The GE Kindergartners learned all about shapes, colors, and fabrics during a quilt presentation by Barb Longwell, former GE educator. She brought her childhood sewing machine, and each student used the machine to sew a pocket to take home. How special to have a cherished member of our community teaching the next generation about these important skills! Thank you, Mrs. Longwell! #galesvillepride
Love and learning were in the air today at Galesville Elementary! ❤️🦅 Our Red Hawks celebrated a day of kindness by putting their BRAINS to work with some incredible STEM challenges. 🧠✨
From reviewing math facts with seasonal flair to engineering towering structures using candy gummies, our students proved that creativity and critical thinking go hand-in-hand. It wasn't just about the treats; it was about the teamwork and problem-solving that happens when we support one another! #galesvillepride

Red Hawks Soaring Together! 🦅
There is nothing better than seeing our older students step up as leaders. Ms. Lee’s 5th-grade "explorers" joined forces with Ms. Moss’s 2nd-grade class to kick off their new Wisconsin Birds writing unit!
Our 5th graders shared their research expertise to help our 2nd graders discover the amazing birds that call our state home. We love seeing this kind of collaboration and mentorship in our hallways!

This month's GE Reads was accompanied by a staff vocabulary dress up day! This simple act had staff and students talking about words all day long. Students will join in the fun next month. #galesvillepride
Galesville Elementary first and second graders warmed our hearts with songs of snow. Special thanks to our guest music teacher Jackie Hauser for her hard work on this show stopping performance. #galesvillepride
It's time to celebrate our January Red Hawk heroes at Galesville Elementary! Special appreciation to these students for their hard work and determination and being safe, respectful, and responsible all day long. #GalesvillePride.
🌲❄️ PBIS Celebrations in Action! ❄️🌲
We loved celebrating our students who have been showing what it means to be safe, respectful, and responsible!
Students in grades 1–5 enjoyed a PBIS reward trip to Bruce Mound, where they explored nature, stayed active, and made great memories together outdoors. Meanwhile, our kindergarten students celebrated their positive choices with a cozy and fun Frozen Friday right here at school!
These experiences are a wonderful reminder that when students meet PBIS expectations, great things happen—learning, joy, and connection to each other and the world around us. We are so proud of our Red Hawks! 🦅✨ #galesvillepride
