Blue Ribbon School: Ohh Yes We Are

What an accomplishment it is to be called a Blue Ribbon School! The students here at Garrison are very excited about this. We can all agree that to be a Blue Ribbon School, it requires a strong student body and administration.

The students are taught the qualities of getting involved with our community. For example, the students held a "Cupcakes for a Cause" bake sale and helped provide earthquake relief in Chile. We even held coat drives for people who need them most. The teachers do a great job trying to re-enforce this. Garrison Union Free School also depends on our School Board and school District. Because of the participation from everyone, our school was awarded a Blue Ribbon.

I'm very pleased to know that the faculty, administration, and students before us who attended Garrison would be proud of us and this moment. They look at us, the students, and know that we are an extraordinary group of well-educated people.--John

MIX IT UP WEEK!

Mix It Up Week is now over. We had a week of fun. The week started out with wearing our pajamas to school. Then we mixed up our friends. On Wednesday we got a color and then we had to sit at the table that our card color was. Not everybody liked the table they were sitting at, but they got along and made new friends. Now on Friday our teachers switched up. We had a lot of fun this week. We are hoping we might have a Spirit Week. Our principal was looking into it.

Yours truly,
Olivia

Opinion: The water fountain drama!

Hello Garrison,

I'm here for another posting on the best blog in the WORLD! I have a problem: I don't like the water fountain. I believe that at least one water dispenser should be put in the middle school hallway. I don't like the water fountain because the water tastes weird. Does anybody agree with me? I wanted one because the adults have one in the lounge, and I think students should have one to. That's all for today! Bye!
