Check Out Our Galileo TOPSoccer Buddies!
US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer is a community-based training program for all athletes with intellectual, emotional, and or physical disabilities. The program strives to provide soccer opportunities for players to develop at their own pace in a safe, fun, and supportive / inclusive environment. Anyone can be a BUDDY to assist students with special needs as they have the opportunity to play soccer. It is such a rewarding experience! Our students volunteer both in the fall and spring seasons giving up their Saturday mornings to be a BUDDY!
Boeing Matches Donation for the Transition Stop!
Boeing Matches Donation for the Transition Stop!
In September 2019, the DPS Education Foundation posted that it had received a personal donation of $5,000 from Tiffany Harrison, a 1993 GWHS alum now living in Seattle. Mrs. Harrison, a CFO for The Boeing Company, made the generous donation to the Transition Stop, a one-stop "shop" for students who are absent from school because they lack basic life essentials.
Well, the story gets even better. In honor of Tiffany Harrison and Boeing employees, Boeing matched Mrs. Harrison's donation for a total contribution of $10,000 for the Transition Stop.
Stay tuned for an upcoming news release about the Transition Stop. Mrs. Harrison is pictured below. #partnershipsmatter #MadeInDPS

Fresh Corn at Grove Park!
No canned food for our kids! Child Nutrition staff at Grove Park Preschool were hard at work shuckin' 4 cases of fresh corn this week. I was lucky enough to eat a piece and that corn was "off the chain" as the millennials would say. Sweet and buttery! Looks like the kids loved it too.

It was an extremely successful event with a Big Shoutout to Mr. Jordan Dorsey (8th grade teacher) and his team of students who spent multiple days after school to prepare. The staff and students at Westwood Middle School are simply the best! Go TIGERS!!! UPDATE: On October 30th, the team defeated Halifax 26 - 8 to become Piedmont District Champions! #EaglePride
