Senior citizens invited to enjoy free games,
performances
Garland ISD is proud to announce that all senior citizens
will be granted free access to any athletic game and Fine Arts
performance this school year. Community members age 65
and older can sign up for a senior citizen VIP pass—a perk
first introduced last fall. The 2019-20 version of the card will
now include free admittance to all in-district middle and
high school regular season athletic events, in addition to a
variety of Fine Arts shows. VIP members can enjoy BandFest,
theater musicals, GISD Children’s Chorus performances and
more at no cost. Like last year, free admission is for the card
bearer only.
It’s easy and free to sign up for this exclusive membership.
To learn how to get your senior citizen VIP pass or renew last
year’s card, call 972-494-8588 or 972-487-3174.
Summer achievements in action
Garland ISD reached a long-awaited milestone, focused on community voices
and promoted learning this summer. The break kicked off with a groundbreaking
for the highly anticipated, state-of-the-art natatorium. Trustees, elected officials,
administrators and community members gathered to celebrate this historic
moment. The summer of 2019 also centered on gathering valuable feedback to
help with strategic decision-making. A dynamic Community Input Summit with
more than 40 focus groups provided opinions on how to shape the district’s
future. Working toward a successful 2019-20, students, staff and board members
continued gaining knowledge at enrichment camps, professional development
sessions and enlightening conferences as well.
