President’s Corner: Juliana Zhang
Hey Key Club! I'm excited for a new year of
community service and bonding with all of
you guys. I'm so glad that you have decided
to join Key Club and I can't wait to see all of
the things that we accomplish together from
the ELIMINATE Project to anything else we put
our minds to. Let's have a great year!
-Juliana Zhang
Vice President’s Corner: Hannah Oden - Brunson
Welcome back Key Club, I hope you're ready for
an awesome year of service because we have
tons of exciting events and opportunities lined
up! Key Club is not only a great way to help out
our school and community, but also a chance
to work together and make friends. We're a
team so feel free to talk to any of the officers
about service ideas you might have, and let's
see all we can do together!

The GHS Key Club aided in the
efforts to sell concessions for a
local Farmer’s Market this summer
by traveling to downtown Garland
to assist local farmers’ selling their
food. Farmers in the community
are always helpful because they
make fresh produce accessible and
you can guarantee purchasing from
them will be a direct investment in
the community! Nowadays, local
markets are rare because of the
2
major increase in the market of
commercial farming.
Fortunately, we live in an area
where we can purchase produce
from a number of farmer’s
markets! It’s important that we
support these smaller businesses
that may go unnoticed to the
larger corporations and always
appreciate fresh food!
Why Should You Support a
Local Farmer’s Market?
1. They benefit the local
community.
You have the opportunity to help
out your community by supporting
local farmers, why wouldn’t you
take the opportunity? Commercial
farming is very popular these days
and many farmers are getting paid
less to mass-produce crops for
major corporations. If you were to
purchase food from farmer’s
markets, the farmer could potential
receive 80 cents per dollar, earned
where as a commercial farmer
working for a bigger company
would only receive 25 cents per
dollar.
1. The Quality is Better Overall.
Since food does not have to
travel very far, you can ensure
that your produce will be fresh
on not contaminated with
excessive preservatives. You
can also purchase these goods
when they’re nice and ripe and
maybe even find rare food that
you would not be able to find
elsewhere.
We Love
Farmer’s
Markets!

On August 9th, Garland High
School Key Club participated in
the HEROES luncheon. This
event was sponsored by the
group HEROES for individuals
with disabilities. Our mission
was to make sure everyone
enjoyed themselves to the best
of their ability and our wish was
granted! Everyone enjoyed
themselves at the picnic and it
2
was definitely a humbling
experience to witness the joy
on everyone’s faces. This
event has motivated our club
to arrange a program that our
club does with the special
needs group from our school!
"As a disabled man, let my life
be a reflection of the endless
amount of ability that exists in
each and everyone of us."

“We are all equal in the fact
that we are all different. We are
all the same in the fact that we
will never be the same. We are
united by the reality that all
colors and all cultures are
distinct & individual. We are
harmonious in the reality that
we are all held to this earth by
the same gravity. We don't
share blood, but we share the
air that keeps us alive.

Once again, Garland High School’s Key Club has participated in the running for FISH Camp to help
incoming freshman.
Seafood Anyone?
Garland High loves the
incoming freshman, because
many of them are always
excited to join clubs. We love
to attend FISH Camp not just
to help out but to also spread
the news about our wonderful
club! New people tend to have
more interests in joining the
club but we also appeal to the
others who are helping and not
involved! Fish also have this
energy that we can greatly
appreciate and hopefully aid in
their shaping to be a better
person throughout high school.
Never underestimate what
clubs can do for you! We also
need to “fill in gaps” from our
lovely senior who have parted
from us. Fish are much more
useful than we give them credit

Fish are more useful than we give them credit for, I mean, do
you want a lame freshman class with no spirit or club
participation? Of course not! It’s important that we give the
FISH a sense of support and create a positive atmosphere that
they will hopefully respond to positively. And that’s why Garland
High school’s Key Club is always an available option for
assistance! All this talk about fish has made me hungry! Seafood
anyone?
Join in our efforts today by helping
us to raise $1,000 by the end of this
school year.
Help save lives.
Do YOU believe in the power of ZERO?
We really want to raise more money for ELIMINATE and our club, so we
really need everyone to find friends to participate in the Frisbee
Tournament during the beginning of the school year. Please reach out to
people and assemble a team. It’ll be great fun and you don’t have to be
athletic! We will also have prizes for the winning team, so get your game
face on!
Help Spread the Word about Our
Frisbee Tournament!
Assemble a team
and get your game
face ready for
Friday the 13th!
