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.

Happy birthday, Willow! One of our favorite 1st grade Owls gets to celebrate on the weekend! #tgs2425 #tgscelebrates
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

Happy belated birthday to 1st grade Owl, Reese! She got to celebrate on her actual birthday (the 4th) and we finally caught up to her! Wish her well! #tgs2425 #tgscelebrates
Our 2nd graders were inspired by the artist Etel Adnan. They worked on three line art and did a fantastic job! #tgs2425 #whygalloway
1st grade took advantage of the beautiful weather this week! They went outside to identify elements that make up soil. Students used their observation skills to draw or do "rubbings" to identify things that will decompose to make soil! #tgs2425 #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
Student Council fundraiser! #tgs2425
Today, our PK4 classes had a blast exploring the wonderful world of flowers! Their flower investigation and dissection lab was full of excitement as they examined a flower's different parts. From the stems and leaves to the colorful petals, they carefully cut open each part to see what’s inside. The kids loved discovering the tiny details and learning how flowers grow and work. It was a fun, hands-on way to explore nature up close! 🌿🌼 #tgs2425 #whygalloway
Mrs. Torres's class observed their new classroom caterpillars! They can't wait to see them form their chrysalises soon! #tgs2425 #whygalloway
