From the Schoolhouse
Saturday, Feb. 22 will be a busy day at the Garden City schools. We are hosting a junior high track meet, a high school track meet, a junior high TMSCA meet and a one-act play festival. Also, the tennis team is entered in the Forsan tournament and there is possibly a basketball play-off game. The coaches have asked that anyone interested in helping at any of these events, primarily the track meets, please contact any one of them at the school.
