WHEREAS, Each year, the students and staff of Garland ISD | ||
join together to collect nonperishable food for families in need, | ||

it was the seventh time in the past eight years that Garland ISD | ||
passed the 100,000 mark, and to date the district has donated more | ||

WHEREAS, The annual food drives of Garland ISD have greatly | ||
benefited countless local residents, and the district's continued | ||
support of the community is indeed deserving of special | ||
recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Garland Independent School | ||
District on its successful 2012 food drive and commend its students | ||
and their families as well as its staff and faculty for their | ||
