Over the past two days, we’ve had the honor of celebrating our incredible 5th grade and 8th grade graduates, and what a beautiful, emotional whirlwind it has been.

To our Dragons: we are SO proud of you. Proud of how much you’ve grown, how hard you’ve worked, the friendships you’ve built, and the amazing young people you are becoming. Watching you move on to the next chapter is equal parts exciting and heartbreaking for all of us parents who still somehow picture you walking into school with tiny backpacks and oversized sneakers. 🥹

There’s something so emotional about watching your child outgrow a stage of life you secretly wished could last just a little longer… while also feeling overwhelming pride watching them spread their wings.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to all of the incredible parent volunteers who poured their hearts and souls into making these celebrations so special for our students and families. These events don’t happen without countless hours of planning, decorating, organizing, and loving behind the scenes.

And an extra special shoutout to Steph Wymer, whose dedication, heart, and tireless work helped make these celebrations truly unforgettable. 💫

Our Dragons are so lucky to be surrounded by a community that loves them this fiercely. Congratulations, Class of 2026. Once a Dragon, always a Dragon. 🐉💙

Feel free to share pics in your class pages to keep the memories going!

Good morning Galileo families! ☀️🎓

Graduation week is officially almost here and somehow we are already in the final countdown 😭✨

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has already signed up, donated, volunteered, cut things out, moved things, answered late-night messages, and jumped into the chaos with us…you guys are amazing and these celebrations truly would not happen without our village. 💙

Our signup still needs a little love as we head into the final stretch, especially with setup/helping hands/snacks. Even the smallest contribution helps more than you know!

Let’s finish strong and make these celebrations extra special for our kiddos! Please consider signing up today!

Teacher Appreciation Week is officially coming to a close tomorrow and it has been so much fun watching our amazing teachers get showered with love, kindness, and gratitude! 💛🌻

From sweet treats to thoughtful notes to beautiful flowers, our Galileo families are showing up in the best ways ~ and our staff deserves every bit of it.

Just a few days left before the dance! We are in the home stretch! This dance is going to be SUCH a fun, memorable night for the kids 🎶✨

But here’s the reality:
These events don’t just “happen.” They take a LOT of time, effort… and money.

Right now, we are still in need of:
👉 Volunteers to help run the event and clean up after
👉 Donations (snacks, drinks, supplies)
👉 Monetary contributions to cover the many out-of-pocket costs, and there are A LOT.

Even small contributions make a BIG difference.
