George Washington visits Garaway!

Garaway students received a special visit from President George Washington! Miss Becky, curator of the Alpine Hills Museum, coordinated this exciting educational experience for Miller Avenue third- and fourth-grade students and Dundee second-grade students.

During the visit, President Washington shared stories about his life and explained the important role he played in the history of the United States. Students had the opportunity to learn more about our nation's first president and ask questions, making history come alive in a memorable way.

A big thank-you goes to Miss Becky and the Alpine Hills Museum for bringing this informative and engaging experience to our schools. What a wonderful way to bring the past into the present!

🥚🔬 Egg-citing Science in 7th Grade! 🔬🥚

Our 7th Grade Fun with Science students put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test by designing, building, and testing their very own egg drop devices! 🧪💡

The big challenge? Could their designs protect an egg from the fall? Students put their engineering skills to work, tested their creations, and discovered the science behind what makes a successful landing! 🥚💥

The National School Lunch Program serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. Our Lunch Heroes at Garaway are excited to celebrate National School Lunch Week and keep our Pirates fueled for success!

🎣🏹 Learning the Outdoors at Baltic Conservation Club! 🌲

Garaway’s Ag Science class and Outdoors Club recently enjoyed a hands-on field day at the Baltic Conservation Club, where students rotated through stations focused on fishing, compound bow safety, and target practice.

A special thank-you goes to Mike Yoder, who wrote an ODNR grant that made this experience possible. The grant allows conservation clubs to partner with schools to promote outdoor activities, safety, and valuable hands-on learning. Lunch was also provided through the grant, and students enjoyed pulled pork, baked beans, chips, cookies, and drinks. 🍪🥤

We are especially grateful to the many Baltic Conservation Club volunteers who took the day off work to spend time with our students. Their willingness to teach, demonstrate, and share their outdoor knowledge made the day a memorable experience for everyone. 👏

And the fun didn’t stop at the stations! Students caught fish, learned how to fillet them, and then enjoyed the catch fried up for everyone to taste! 🎣🐟

The partnership is a win-win. Students gain valuable outdoor skills and safety knowledge, while the Baltic Conservation Club is able to benefit from fish stocking opportunities made possible through the program.

Thank you to the Baltic Conservation Club, ODNR, Mike Yoder, and all of the volunteers for investing in our students and helping them learn, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors! 💙❤️

🍎🍏 CRUNCH, CRUNCH, HOORAY! 🍏🍎

Garaway students joined schools across Ohio yesterday for the Great Apple Crunch 2026! 🎉

There’s nothing quite like that first CRUNCH of a fresh, juicy apple—and ours were extra special because they were Ohio-grown! 🌱🍎❤️

We’re proud to celebrate Ohio agriculture, local farmers, and Farm to School Month while enjoying a delicious taste of homegrown goodness!

🍎 Ohio-grown apples + Garaway students = one GREAT CRUNCH! 🍎
