New This Week: Teacher Time!
What is Teacher Time?
It’s one of the most beloved Gala traditions! Teacher Time allows your child to spend special one-on-one time with their favorite teacher outside the classroom—whether that’s a pizza picnic, craft day, movie night, ice cream outing, or even being “Head of School for the Day!”
This year’s experiences are creative, personal, and full of memory-making moments.
Bidding is now open through GiveSmart, so create your account.

Why Galloway, you ask? Our school embraces a people-first environment, which is deeply rewarding as it places the well-being and growth of each student at the heart of every interaction. Guided by the wisdom of Phil Boyte from Learning for Living, we create a culture where teachers and students feel seen, heard, and valued, empowering them to take ownership of their learning journey. Phil’s mentorship inspires us to build authentic relationships, foster a community, and pursue continuous personal development. #tinymoments #peoplefirst #whygalloway

Mrs. Torres and Mrs. Flanagan kicked off our chapel for gentleness by doing an object lesson with a balloon and skewer to demonstrate the effects of showing gentleness in our lives! Great lesson for all! #tgs2425 #whygalloway
