Next week, we’re kicking off our 10 Days of Garrard Giveaways! With only 10 school days left until Christmas break, we’re spreading holiday cheer by giving back to our students, families, and community members. Here’s how it works:
Each day, we’ll post a Garrard Giveaway item. To enter, simply like the post, comment on it, and make sure you like and follow BOTH the Garrard County Schools District page and the Garrard County Athletics page on Facebook and Instagram! Winners will be announced daily, and prizes can be picked up at the Board of Education after the announcement. (For student and staff winners, items will be delivered directly to their school).
Get a head start by liking and following our pages now, and get ready to join in the holiday fun during 10 Days of Garrard Cheer! Posting will begin on Monday, December 9th, 2024.
A big THANK YOU to Texas Roadhouse of Richmond, KY, for donating free kids' meal coupons to reward our students with good attendance in November! Over 800 students received this special treat. 👏 Keep up the great work, GCS students! Don’t forget, December attendance counts too—let’s aim for another month of success and rewards!
Thumbs Up Thursday! 👍 Congratulations to our November attendance winners! Students with half a day or less absent and no tardies (97% attendance) this month received a special treat and were entered into a prize drawing. One student from each grade at every school took home a $10 gift card to McDonalds, thanks to First Southern National Bank for sponsoring this month’s rewards. Way to go, students, and thank you, First Southern, for supporting our schools!
