Eagle Landing Open for Students
Students at Galway High School were filled with excitement as they walked outside with their friends towards Eagles Landing during their lunches on Monday. It was the opening day of this new outdoor hangout on the Galway High campus.
Located on the old modified soccer field by the old bus garage, the new area isn’t finished yet, but when it is, it will be a community area for all of Galway. This area will include a beach volleyball court, two bocce ball pits, a wall ball area, a mini soccer field and many new benches and picnic tables. The basketball court was also resurfaced and students can play basketball during lunch and after school.
Students are asked that during lunches they do not bring their things outside with them and to go out when the aides give them permission. Mrs. Donovan put a lot of time and effort into creating this new space for Galway students and the entire Galway community, so students are also asked to treat the space with respect and to enjoy it thoroughly. Be sure to thank Mrs. Donovan for her efforts when you see her and enjoy Eagle Landing!

Eagle Landing would be used more often and by more people if it were to be opened up for use during study halls. Some students, such as those in APUSH (AP US History) are unable to use Eagle Landing during school hours. These students have to leave lunch early so they can be on time to their class. They have to leave at about the same time that the lunch aides begin to allow the students to go outside. Therefore, all of the students in APUSH are unable to use Eagle Landing.

You chose to be in that class. I think that it should be open when study halls are going on but that would be giving the students to much “freedom”. Study halls are supposed to be used for studying not having fun unfortunately.

This was a great idea and the student body is very lucky to have an administrator like Mrs. Donovan who works so tirelessly to provide things like this for us! Thank you 🙂

I think this is a good opportunity to go outside, and hang out with friends and get some fresh air during lunch. It gives us a break from the indoor drag of school, and re energizes us for the rest of our classes! Can’t wait until it’s completed!
