GMS Principal's Corner
February 12, 2021
Dear Galvin Families,
- School will be closed the week of February 15 - 19, 2021 and will resume Monday, February 22, 2021.
- Virtual clubs will also be on vacation for the week and will resume starting Monday, 2/22.
- Picture retake day for students on the Remote Ravens team and for any GMS student who didn't have their picture taken yet will happen on Wednesday, February 24 from 4 - 5:30pm. Please check in with the Galvin main office when you arrive. Pictures will happen in the cafeteria. Social distance guidelines will be maintained.
- If you are traveling this vacation, please be sure to follow the district's COVID-19 guidance. Please click here for details.
- Canton Public Schools is forming an "All-In Steering Committee". We are looking to include parents on this committee. You should have received an email from the district outlining the process and asking you to fill out a form if you were interested in participating. It is important to note that this form must be completed by Tuesday, February 16. You can access this form here as well.
- Student Leadership would like to thank all families who donated to our fundraisers the past two weeks. We were able to raise over $565 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through our jersey days and online fundraiser, as well as make a large donation to the Canton Food Pantry to support our local community members. Thank you for all of your support!
We wish you all a wonderful February break and look forward to being back together on February 22nd.
Best,
Sarah
