Huge thanks to the Galesville Police Department for joining us during our school safety intruder drill today this last Friday. We greatly appreciate them not only for observing the drill and providing valuable feedback to help keep our school safe, but also for taking the time to answer our students' thoughtful questions. We appreciate your partnership and dedication to keeping our students and staff safe!
Fall Fun Day- Annual Egg Drop & Pumpkin Smash!
Thanks to the Galesville Volunteer Fire Department for visiting and bringing their impressive ladder truck. The local firefighters helped host our Fall Fun Day. Middle school students competed in the School-Wide Egg Drop. We also had a quick round of Pumpkin Smash!
Our students spent time designing, engineering, and testing protective contraptions meant to keep a raw egg safe from a high fall. Firefighters raised the truck’s aerial ladder high above the school grounds and dropped teams' creations one by one to see whose design could survive the fall!
After testing our young engineers' contraptions, the Fire Department helped us finish the event with a smashing grand finale, dropping a few pumpkins from the top of the ladder!
A huge THANK YOU to the Galesville Fire Department for taking time out of their busy schedules to engage with our students, inspire future problem-solvers, and help make the day so much fun.

Exciting news: our Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau Middle School Robotics teams officially kicked off their FIRST Tech Challenge season.
Our students have been hard at work designing, building, and programming their robots for this year’s BIOBUZZ™ challenge. From launching pollen into the hive to mastering autonomous scoring, it was fun to see their hard work in action on the field!
A massive thank you to our coaches, mentors, parents, and our partners at Western Technical College for making this experience possible for our students.

Last Friday, our 7th and 8th grade middle school girls volleyball had the opportunity to attend a UW-La Crosse (UWL) volleyball match as they cheered on the Eagles against Coe College from Iowa! The girls even got to take a picture with Stryker the Eagle during the match, making it an extra special experience!
Our middle school girls volleyball wrapped up their season last night, and all of our teams have done a fantastic job this season! We are so proud of their hard work, dedication, and growth throughout the year. 🏐👏
A huge THANK YOU to Coach Hannah Mason, Rob Sebion, Jalena Peterson and Tatum Johnson for all their hard work, dedication, and for making this fun field trip possible!

Our students had an afternoon full of smiles, excitement, and fun at Oktoberfest Special Festers!
The day began with a stop at McDonald’s, where students practiced ordering their own food and using their community life skills. Then they headed to the fest grounds and were ready for some fun! Students enjoyed riding the carnival rides, spending time together, and meeting both new and old friends.
Experiences like these give our students a chance to practice independence, build confidence, and enjoy being part of our community. A big thank you to everyone at Oktoberfest Special Festers for putting together such a special experience for our students!
