Mission & Welcome Letter
The Galena High School Five Star Booster’s Mission:
Build and grow our Galena community-to promote and encourage communication and interaction between parents, teachers, administration and the community as well as increase parent involvement. For example, through our website and our Social Media forums to inform our Galena High School Parent’s and assist them in keeping up with the schedule & activities.
Sponsor and organize school events, activities, and requests-to deepen our community spirit and enrich our children’s education, social and developmental experiences. For example, student activities, teacher appreciation activities, student scholarships, fund teacher requests that support our students.
Raise money-to help fund and support everything listed above that has a direct positive impact on our
children. The 2024 – 2025 Fundraising Goal: $40,000
