Galesburg-Augusta High School

Wowsers! September was jam packed! We had a lot of fun with homecoming! Our seniors showed up with some spirit and won our homecoming games!

Looking ahead to October we have a few big events this week; Count Day, RAM FAM JAM, & Home Opener for the New Maskill Field and Home of the Rams Stadium. We are still in the run for the Johnny's Market School Spirit Grant!!! We will be using the money to go directly to the students by purchasing a slushy machine for them to use during lunch and use for incentive parties.

Please check out all the events below!

My Best,

Mrs. Newton

This year we’re excited to add a Family Night component to the 10th annual MiCareerQuest SW event. From 3:30 to 6 PM on Tuesday, October 24, families from your district are invited to the Expo Center to join the MiCareerQuest fun, including hands-on activities hosted by local employers and family-friendly career exploration guided by KRESA’s Career Connect staff. Intended primarily for high school students and their families (but open to younger siblings), MiCareerQuest Family Night offers multigenerational experiences highlighting local career opportunities and encouraging conversations about career next steps for both students and their family members.

Students and their families looking to secure more financial aid for college are encouraged to register for an informational webinar about the Michigan Achievement Scholarship, which is the newest State of Michigan scholarship program expected to impact the majority of students.

Participants will be able to gather the following information:

• Michigan Achievement Scholarship eligibility requirements
• Michigan Achievement Scholarship award amounts
• Important action items for students and families
• Additional resources and program information

All sessions are free of charge and open to the public. Register for one session only, as space is limited.

We have a couple important pieces of information for you!

First off, we will be having a class meeting tomorrow (Thursday) at 12pm in the library.

Float building is off to a great start! We are impressed with your creativity and have appreciated everyone that has showed up to bring your ideas to life. There's still a lot of work to be done, so we hope to see more students coming to help! We need all hands on deck if we want to take the win!

SCHEDULE CHANGE: There will be NO float building this Saturday (9/23) due to sport & band conflicts. I will confirm a make up day with you at our meeting this week.

In honor of Homecoming week, we will be doing a carnation fundraiser. We need a couple students to pre-sell during lunch/flextime next Tuesday & Wednesday. We will the assemble the messages with carnations to be handed out on Friday.
