When the Kiwanis Club of Garland heard that one of Garland ISD’s schools was in need of uniforms and jackets they quickly adopted this as one of their Community Projects. Before Christmas, the Kiwanis Club of Garland delivered uniforms and jackets to the Golden Meadows Elementary where they also have sponsored the “Kiwanis Girls with Goals” program since 1999.
Ms. Holmes and Ms. Ramsey were pleased to have the Kiwanis Club members help with this need.
