Help Us Shape the Next Capital Project |
We invite Galway CSD community members to help us shape the next Capital Project by participating in the following public input sessions in the Junior/Senior High School Library:
- Thursday, May 15, 2025 at 6:00 p.m.
- Saturday, May 24, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. for an abbreviated session called Coffee and Questions during the Galway Booster Club Car Wash and Can Drive fundraiser
Following the defeat of the Capital Project that was proposed in December 2023, the Board of Education Facilities Committee members have been listening to residents’ concerns and discussing the infrastructure needs that were not included in the 2016 Capital Project.
- The majority of these needs were identified as critical in the district’s most recent Building Condition Survey (completed in 2020)
- Some of these needs include work that voters passed in the 2021 Small Capital Project that focused on the bus garage, but could not be completed due to cost escalation during and after the COVID-19 pandemic
For archival information on all of our recent Capital Projects, and information on the work that is being considered for the next Capital Project, please click on the Facilities webpage here

Fun fact of the day: Japan has over 200 flavors of Kit Kats. They're exclusively created for different regions, cities, and seasons. There are some tasty-sounding ones like banana, blueberry cheesecake, and Oreo ice cream, as well as some very questionable ones like baked potato, melon and cheese, wasabi, and vegetable juice.

Softball Highlights
Congratulations to the Varsity Softball team as they won the League title and championship last night in dramatic fashion after going up 2-0, then falling behind 3-2 heading into the last inning to give the softball team its first league championship since 1992. Galway scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning to pull out a 4-3 victory over Cobleskill-Richmondville to win the Western Athletic Conference championship. The Eagles’ Kiera Allen went 3 for 4 and hit the first pitch she faced in the seventh inning for a home run over the centerfield fence that tied it at 3-3. Kristina Becker followed with a single, and she advanced to third on a bunt by Maggie Newsom and made it home on a throwing error. Emma Menge got the final out on a strikeout, her 12th of the game, in the bottom of the seventh. Courtney Smith had two hits for Galway, which improved to 11-0 in the WAC and 16-3 overall.
