On Tuesday, the Glasscock County FFA hosted the 2nd Annual Garden City Leadership Development Event Invitational! Students from 20 different chapters participated in 13 different events throughout the day.
These events tested students agricultural knowledge, ability to preform parliamentary procedure, and enhanced public speaking skills.
Over 40 students from Glasscock County FFA participated in events and did very well. This was their first contest of the year and are looking forward to making improvements!
Results are below.

We are thankful for all the sponsors who provided prizes for the competition!
Team members were Mason Halfmann, Evan Fuchs, Weston Jost, and Jared Lopez.
We are super proud of Tatum and Lacy for making the semi finals of job interview at the state fair. These girls were 2 of 30 students from across the state to qualify to interview! A huge accomplishment!

Let's congratulate these girls!
At the September and October meetings, our GCISD School Board discussed a survey to help GCISD Board members and administrators to create a positive culture and climate. Feedback from the survey will be discussed at future board meetings and used to implement any identified needs. This survey is completely anonymous (no personally identifiable information or IP addresses will be recorded) and will be open for responses until 10/27/23. To help in the data collection, please take the time to complete one survey for each campus on which you have a child enrolled and only complete the survey if you have a child enrolled in GCISD. Thank you for your consideration in completing our survey and helping us to become as great as we can be.
