Sock Day – Red Ribbon Week

By Luke

October 20, 2015 is the first day of Red Ribbon Week. Today at Garner Middle School the students  were allowed to wear crazy socks,  which is anything in your imagination. Today I walked around Garner and got to see the fun socks that the students where wearing. They are down at the bottom so I can show you the fun!

Although Red Ribbon week is happy for some, it is also to remember DEA Agent Enrique Camarena, who stood up against the destruction of drugs and was killed in the line of duty. Around the world, people wear red ribbons to honor him and his heroism. National Family Partnership was the first to sponsor the first Red Ribbon Week.

Some people think of drugs on red ribbon week but other people like me also think it is a time to remember the family members that have had the battle for cancer. Many drugs cause cancer and other disease so that is why we must stand up to drugs. We thank Enrique Camarena for his stance and what he did for the world and to stop drugs.

The Latest in Lady Yearlings Volleyball!

Last week on October 16, 2014, Garner Middle Schools’ very own 7th grade volleyball girls played against Jackson Middle School here at Garner.

Go team and B team won their games, but sadly A team lost.

Avery Dullnig (7) who’s in Go team said “I was scared I wasn’t going to make the ball over the net, and that I was going to let my team down.”

Katya Rodriguez (7) said “It felt really awesome to win a game.

The Jaguars were very tough to beat I’ve heard. Thank goodness our ladies could take it.

The next volleyball game will be held here at Garner Middle School.  We will be going against Driscoll Middle school. Go team girls will play at 4:30 p.m., B team girls will play at 5:30 p.m., and A team girls will play at 6:30 p.m.

Good luck ladies! Hope to see everyone there!
