❄️ SCHOOL CANCELED TOMORROW DUE TO EXTREME COLD ❄️
Garden City Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, February 19th, due to dangerously low temperatures and wind chills. The safety of our students and staff always comes first, and with extreme cold in the forecast, it is simply too dangerous for travel and outdoor exposure.
🔹 No school for students and certified staff
🔹 District offices will remain open
Please stay safe, stay warm, and avoid prolonged time outside. We’ll keep you updated if any additional changes are needed. See you soon! #EveryoneLeads #StayWarm

Many first responders and older students came out to help with the Jennie Wilson and Jennie Barker NFL Play 60 events this afternoon.
Fuel Up to Play 60 is an in-school nutrition and physical activity program launched by the NFL and National Dairy Council, in collaboration with the USDA. The program is designed to engage and empower youth to take action for their own health by implementing long-term, positive changes for themselves and their schools.
