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 the digital Grizzly Growl that comes out monthly and our Galena High School Parent’s Facebook page.
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, fund the SmugMug account to host and provide free-school-wide photos including athletic teams and MORE.
Raise money-to help fund and support everything listed above that has a direct positive impact on our
children. 2022-2023 Financial Goal: Raise $40,000
Welcome Letter from our President:
Hello Galena families and staff,
My name is Michelle Simmons and I am honored to be your Galena Five Star Boosters President for the 2022-2023 school year.
We hope that you will consider becoming a member or renewing your Five Star Boosters/PTO membership. Last year we helped to fund: Senior scholarships, new band uniforms, new Autoclave for the Science department, ink and cartridges for the CTE Department’s UV and 3D printers, a new pug mill for the Art department, monthly Teacher Appreciation events and Senior events to name just a few.
Below you’ll find a number of resources, including our revised membership form. This year, the membership form is also available online. There are also links to future meeting dates, meeting minutes, budgets, 2022-2023 board members, and our Grizzly Growl newsletter. We are also very active on our Galena High School Parents Facebook page. If you have a Senior this year, please check out the Class of 2023 Senior Parents Facebook page for Senior Events and information.
Please email me at [email protected] you have any questions or would like to volunteer. We look forward to a fantastic year. GO GRIZZ!
Sincerely,
Michelle Simmons
