CONNECTIONS WEEKEND

October 6-8, 2011

Connections Weekend started with a conversation in 2009 and grew into three days full of special events. 2011 marks our Third Annual Connections Weekend event! This special weekend provides opportunity for Galion alumni, community members, and students to connect and form bonds that will last a lifetime. Whether it is through the Career Day activities, cheering at the football game, playing in the band or in the golf scramble, attending the Hall of Fame Dinner, or other great Connections events, the strong support from Galion alumni and friends will only enhance the overall educational experience for the children of the Galion City Schools.

The Synergy Committee, planners of Connections Weekend, is made up of a group of dedicated volunteers who capitalized on the combined energy of several community organizations including the Galion City Schools, the Galion Alumni Association, the Galion Community Education Foundation, The Galion Tiger Alumni Band, the Galion Community Center/YMCA, the Galion Community Foundation, the Galion Booster Club and the Galion Parent Teacher Organizations.

The Synergy Committee is pleased to announce the list of 2011 Galion City School Hall of Fame Inductees. Seventeen outstanding nominees were submitted for this year’s Hall of Fame. Of the seventeen individuals submitted, eight will be inducted into the Hall of Fame for 2011.

The 2011 Hall of Fame Inductees are:

Mr. Jack Arlen		Teacher, Galion City Schools
Mrs. Sara Beegle		Class of 1918 (Posthumously)
Mr. Robert Blanz		Class of 1950
Dr. William B. Epperson		Class of 1978

Dr. Kathleen J. Kehrer Mikan		Class of 1957
Mr. Reynold Sentieri		Class of 1936 (Posthumously)
Dr. James D.Young		Class of 1959

All of this year’s nominees are distinguished graduates or Teachers of Galion City Schools, and are certainly very worthy of this honor. Nominees who were not selected for this year’s ceremony will be held for the committee to review for possible inclusion next year upon receipt of additional information. Congratulations to all of the nominees and Inductees for being selected for this honor!

The Hall of Fame is a program to honor Galion Graduates and Faculty members who have gone on and shown excellence and leadership in their careers and community activities. This excellence can be in business, the arts, the military, athletics, politics, or in any of the professional fields as well as recognized community service activities. Those honored as members of the Hall of Fame will have their names and accomplishments on permanent display on the campus of Galion City Schools.

Nominees must be a graduate of Galion High School or have served on the faculty of the Galion City Schools and his/her activities must show excellence and leadership in their field. Recognition of achievements must be in a public announcement such as periodical, newspaper, radio, or television. Achievement must be of a level to show a positive impact in the field of the achievement. Candidates will have exhibited leadership and excellence not only in his/her field, but in service to their community and nomination needs to include references to publications that have made note of the individual’s achievements as well as personal recommendations.
