G-A Families,
As you may have heard, today there was an incident in which one of our G-A buses was rear-ended by another, while trying to exit our MS parking lot to drive students home at the end of the day.
Unfortunately, a parent vehicle did not yield for the bus, and our driver had to slam on its brakes to avoid hitting the parent vehicle. That caused the bus behind it to run into the rear end of the other bus.
First responders did arrive. All students were removed from the buses and taken into our gym where students could be checked out for any injuries.
Five students were checked for injuries by first responders, but all went home. Only the bus driver of the first bus will seek medical attention.
We appreciate the middle school staff, our drivers, and our local responders for being so quick and efficient in ensuring everyone's safety prior to taking our children home for the day.
PARENTS OF CURRENT 5TH-11TH GRADE STUDENTS: Please read about a great opportunity for our student-athletes.
Attention 5th-11th grade students. The Galesburg-Augusta Athletic Department and G-A Sport's Boosters will be hosting Speed and Agility Clinics throughout the summer. These will take place at the high school from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday starting June 12th. The cost will be $20 to participate. This is NOT per session, but for the entire summer. The clinics will be run by professional trainers, which would normally cost you $25 to $50 per session. Instead, you are getting professional training for about $1.50 per session. Please pick up a registration form in the office or see Mr. Woodard or Mr. Merasco for a copy. PAYMENTS CAN BE MADE ON THE FIRST DAY.
Reminder: Tomorrow, Wednesday May 17, is a HALF DAY.
Sign up forms are in the Middle School and High School offices.

Congratulations to our high school wrestling coach, Chris Champion. He was named the area's Assistant Coach of The Year by the Battle Creek Enquirer. This is a well deserved honor!
Attention 8th-11th grade students. We are in need of several players for the upcoming boy's tennis season next school year. Previous tennis experience is not needed to join. We will have coaches that will work with you to teach you the game and fundamentals of the sport. We can probably even find you a tennis racquet, if needed. This will be a low pressure experience, so why not give it a try.
Please email Mr. Woodard (athletic director) at michael.woodard@garams.org with any questions or to let him know you are interested.
