Garage Sale

Thanks to the dedicated work of a sea of parent and student volunteers, I am pleased to announce that today’s GISD BANDS Garage Sale raised $3,000.00 for the kids in the GISD Bands!

Special thanks go out to the countless hours of coordination put in by our parent volunteer in charge of organizing the Fall Garage Sale, Valerie Jamie. This was a huge success thanks to your vision!

Special thanks also go out to Tammy Mezayek, Bruce Oliver, Ray Brown and their children who donated time driving trailers picking up items and equipment!

We are so fortunate to have such dedicated families to this band program! Thanks again to EVERYONE involved who donated and worked! The kids will reap the benefits of our labors, thanks for all you do for the GISD BANDS!
