The Galloway School - August 29, 2021
Chapel
We were able to experience a brief chapel with students distanced in the parking lot, this past Wednesday. During this meaningful time, we raised the flags to the national anthem, recited the Lord's Prayer, had a moment of silence for personal prayers, and enjoyed an uplifting Christian song to start the day. This was our first non-virtual chapel experience, with all students in the same general location, since March 2020! What a blessing!
Considering Health and Safety
Thank you for doing your part in our collective vigilance to stay healthy at The Galloway School. Thank you, also, for seriously considering potential implications if you receive close-contact notice from another school or employer regarding a household member. Part of our success in the face of COVID-19 last year was taking these risks seriously and limiting as much potential spread from outside our school walls into our classrooms.
Outdoor Play and Learning Space
On a more exciting note, we will soon break ground on our new outdoor play and learning space, thanks to generous donations from Galloway families in last year's Annual Fund! The space will include advanced climbing equipment, a walking path, an outdoor learning space, benches and tables, and landscaping with trees. Watch for development to begin at the end of school nearest the playing field. Thank you to all who made this possible!
Continuing to Raise a Hallelujah!
