Thank you for being responsible

Brady Norris, part of the Character Ed Squad, meets students, families and gaculty as they arrive for school at Lake Canyon. He picked "respect" as his sign for the day and said it means, "To be nice, don't push people around".

Did you take the pledge?
During September and October, we pledged to fulfill our roles in our Community of Character by acting with responsibility: doing what we are supposed to do, always doing our best, and being accountable for our actions.
I hope you have had the opportunity to take the pledge for all six of Galt’s character traits: integrity, honesty, respect, pride in community, responsibility, and caring and compassion. Our character is defined in them, and they are what set apart our Galt community. We hope to see the pledge displayed around the city of Galt as reminders of our community values.
A new day is upon us
Even as we mark our ballots by Nov. 4, there is a feeling that we are moving into many changes in America. Before we throw the baby out with the bathwater, as my mother used to say, I hope that the Galt community will take time to say thanks to all those in our community who have served us well and with dedication – all those serving on school boards or church boards, in youth citizenship or sports, and all the rest who have stood up to actively make Galt a great community for everyone who lives here. Whether you may agree with everyone I city government or not, let’s thank them for serving the citizens day after day during their tenures, and then we’ll be ready to move on together after election day.
