9-11 Grade Families: Don't forget tomorrow is school picture day! #StreaksNation

Accounting class took a poppin' turn as students teamed up to tackle transactions in a fun and interactive way! With paper popcorn pieces representing different entries, they dove into their T-accounts. The collaboration brought out teamwork skills while enjoying real popcorn treats together. Learning made deliciously engaging! It's great to see students not only grasping complex concepts but also sharing laughs and making new friends in the process. Fun days like this make accounting not just about numbers, but also about building relationships and mastering skills as a group. Here's to more creative learning experiences ahead! #StreaksNation

What an incredible start to the season for the Galesburg 7th Grade Silver Streak football team! They dominated E. Moline Glenview with an impressive 42-0 victory. Orlando Hernandez showcased his talent, completing 6 of 7 passes for a total of 98 yards and throwing two touchdown passes to Terence Jordan, who also racked up 98 receiving yards. Jordan Ostrander made some serious moves on the ground, rushing for 70 yards and scoring a touchdown of his own.

A big shoutout to Ryder Gibson, who was perfect in passing, Madyn Sargent with key receptions adding a PAT, Braxton Lamb contributing both rushing yards and another touchdown, plus Noah Fulk with multiple PATs! Defensively, Allen Turner snagged an interception and took it all the way for a touchdown, while John Dillard led with six tackles. Chase Gibson, along with Ostrander and Bentlee Spray, recovered fumbles, keeping the momentum strong! The Streaks are fired up as they prepare to return to action on September 10th at Rock Island at 4:15 PM. Keep it going, Streaks! #StreaksNation

Last week, our Drawing I students embarked on an exciting journey by creating formative self-portraits during the first few days of school. These initial artworks serve as a snapshot of their current skills and perspectives. As the semester progresses, they will engage in lessons and extensive practice, honing their techniques and expanding their artistic vision. At the end of the semester, each student will revisit their first self-portrait and create a second one, allowing them to visually compare their growth and development as artists. #StreaksNation
