GalFEE is proud to announce that we have been able to approve several grants to the Galva Elementary for playground equipment, a new rug in the music room, special seating for Mrs.Moore's room and props and costumes for Mrs. Dulla's class play. We are excited to continue to support the schools and these wonderfully creative teachers.

Josh Morris, teacher at Galva High School was recently awarded a $4000 grant by Katherine Hawes, on behalf of GalFEE (Galva Foundation for Educational Enrichment). He will purchase materials (drafting tables, structure sets, sensors, etc.) to be used to create an alternative geometry course and other CTE classes as well. This will provide students another opportunity to earn the state-required geometry credit through the new hands-on class. GalFEE looks forward to hearing about the success of this new offering to Galva's students.

The GalFEE board is happy to announce in person meetings have resumed and plans are being resumed after a break due to COVID. The GalFEE board members met at 4:00 p.m. on April 5, 2021, at City Hall. Current board members include Brian Corkill, Mechelle Dyer, Madelyn Green, Katherine Hawes, Keith Luymes, Amy Ruhl, and Brittany Stewart. Anyone interested in joining the board may contact existing board members.

Opportunities to enhance Galva school’s education will be accepted and evaluated. One such program under consideration is Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. By providing books to children, it builds a love of reading, enhances social/emotional development, and builds a foundation to springboard acquisition of new knowledge. The teacher grant application will be updated with the plan to begin accepting grant applications in July 2021.

Future meetings are currently planned to be held at 5:00 p.m. at City Hall, on the first Monday of the month. The board will only meet once during summer break. Our next meeting will be held at 5:00 p.m. on May 10 at City Hall. Check GalFEE's page for more updates and announcements.
