AMAZON SMILES
Do you shop on Amazon? Log into smile.amazon.com first and select Galileo School PTA as your charity. Every time you shop using Amazon Smiles a portion of your purchases will be donated back to Galileo PTA. What does the money donated go towards? Helping teachers and students of course! All funds earned by the PTA go directly back into helping the school with things such as: classroom technology, teacher grants, curriculum materials, and PTA sponsored activities. Helping earn money for your school has never been easier. Just make sure you sign in to your Amazon Smile account before you shop and a portion of purchase will be donated back to Galileo PTA. We appreciate all the support you give!
STAFF APPRECIATION
We LOVE our teachers and staff at Galileo! We show our love throughout the year by providing a morale boost through meals, snacks and gifts! If you would like to get in on the fun and volunteer to show our teachers some love, volunteer here.
JUMP ROPE GROUP
We’re proud to support our kids in living a healthy lifestyle while having fun with Galileo’s Jump Rope Group! Jump Rope Group meets Fridays after school at Galileo. Space is limited to the first 35 students who are registered and paid. More information about registration coming soon. Jump Rope Group is open to grades 1-5.
Please provide a snack for your child to eat before Jump Rope Group begins. They will need the energy! Jump Rope Group will end promptly at 5pm. Please remember that only those children who are registered and paid can attend.
We are looking for a volunteer to facilitate this group. If you are interested, please fill out the volunteer form. If your student is interested in this group, please indicate here to be informed when registration opens up.
MEET THE MASTERS
Meet the Masters is an art program for our elementary students where parent volunteers teach about some of the great master artists. Whether you are a seasoned or new Art Parent, the tools provided to you make it quite straightforward to execute in the classroom. You need not be creative or artsy to teach this program – if you can read a recipe, you can do it. Plus, your teacher is there to manage the classroom.
Volunteers are needed once a month during the school day January-May to facilitate Meet the Masters. Curriculum and supplies provided through the PTA. Volunteer here.
CHESS GROUP
The Galileo Chess Group is open to all K-8 students and all skill levels! Chess Group meets every Wednesday morning before school from 8:40 – 9:20 in the Galileo Cafeteria. If your student is interested, please indicate here.
Parent Volunteers:
Parents are asked to volunteer for two mornings a year. It’s easy and you don’t need to understand the game either! You will be asked to sign up at registration but if you need to change your volunteer day later you can do so. Volunteer here.
SKI GROUP
Enjoy the fun of Skiing too! The Galileo PTA proudly supports the Galileo Ski Group. Ski Group is open to our Middle Level Students. Please express interest in this group here.

REFLECTIONS
Do you have a young artist in your home? If so, its time for them to get creative!
PTA Reflections is a nationally acclaimed student recognition program to encourage artistic creativity in the classroom and at home. Students of all grades and abilities may participate and explore the arts based on the annual theme.
The contest spans 6 categories (visual arts, film production, dance choreography, literature, photography & music composition) and several age divisions.
