The Courtyard By: Nicole Russo
The doors are open! For the first time in a long time, the students here at the Garden City High School have access to the forbidden courtyard. Students have not been able to access it for years, often leading them to wonder why it is in the middle of the school in the first place. Due to Covid-19, the school finally decided to open it up! What a silver lining! Do you have a free period, study hall, or lunch? The courtyard is open the entire school day and
always filled with kids. Set up with chairs, benches, and a tent it is the perfect place to take a mask break and eat lunch with your friends. Now that the weather is getting nice, my friends and I love to sit out there whenever we can. Along with the courtyard being open, so is every other door. Now all students can enjoy walking outside from class to class and soak in some Vitamin D. Take advantage of those 8 minutes, and get outside! Having
access to the outdoors can really brighten your mood. Hopefully, the courtyard remains open next year because it really is a great place for students to relax and because those skimpy desks in the lunchroom are too small to eat a proper lunch. (Am I right?) No matter what happens next year, I encourage you to make the effort to eat in the courtyard if you have lunch period, and walk outside in between classes. I promise you won’t regret it!

Miracle Club By: Kami Bremer
During the month of April, Garden City High School experienced quite the thrill when Miracle Club, led by Mrs. Fleming, participated in the Buzz for Bobby “I’m Not Done Yet” Foundation. Seniors Kealan Mullally and Robbie Treanor had their heads shaved by Principal Steingruebner to raise money for the I’m Not Done Yet Foundation. The I’m Not Done Yet Foundation honors Bobby Menges, a young, enthusiastic boy, who was
10
diagnosed with cancer three times, unfortunately passing away in 2017. Although cancer is known for putting one’s life on hold, Bobby didn’t let it stop him. From the beginning Bobby volunteered for anything and everything he could get his hands
on, giving back to the community and making a beautiful difference in the world. Being a past student at Garden City High School, Bobby’s story has a special place in the hearts of many residents. The Miracle Club raised over $3,000 alone for the I’m Not Done Yet Foundation! Everyone at Garden City High School gives thanks to the Miracle Club for making a difference. We can’t wait to see what they do next! Image via @Garden_City_HS on Twitter
