In our morning and afternoon ROAR program our Galion Primary students get to participate in several fun and educational activities centered around Literacy, Math, Writing, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics).

Our dedicated and highly qualified tutors lead engaging ROAR sessions like Proactive Planning, Roar Readers, Math Masters, Writer’s Workshop,
Kid Kindness, and Playground Plays.

Our youngest tigers start their ROAR sessions by checking and organizing their school supplies. They practice positive routines by reviewing ROAR rules and activities they will participate in. During their academic sessions, our students practice their reading, writing, and math skills in fun and engaging ways by using various resources ranging from reading and activity books, personal journals and handouts, interactive educational games on their iPads, board games, and fun videos.

Once per week, our little tigers practice random acts of kindness which promote empathy, compassion, and consideration for their peers, teachers, family members, and community in general. Finally, our tigers always end their ROAR sessions with our Playground Plays activities which include creative art projects, music and movement, structured and unstructured free play.

Through our established community partnership with the Galion Public Library, our Primary students and families occasionally enjoy a visit from the Children’s Librarian who leads family reading circles and reading activities. Furthermore, two times per year ROAR students and families have an opportunity to participate in family engagement events like cookie, tile or ornament decorating, math and literacy nights.
