Garrard County High School Student Council hosted its annual Community Trunk or Treat, welcoming families from across the community for a night of costumes, candy and Halloween fun.
The event brought together more than a dozen GCHS clubs, sports teams, school organizations and community partners, all working together to create a fun and welcoming experience for our local students. Participating groups decorated their trunks, passed out candy and greeted families throughout the night.
Students and staff from organizations including Student Council, National Honor Society, Beta Club, FBLA, FCA, FCCLA, FFA, Poetry Club, TATU, Family Resource Center, Book Club, Science Club, JROTC, Art Club, GCHS Cheer and Lady Lions Softball and Volleyball joined in the festivities, along with members of the GCHS custodial staff and local community partners.
The evening featured music provided by Crystal Cheek of Glory Days Car Club, along with additional activities including face painting and the popular candy cannon, organized and sponsored by Mr. Sam Travis.
While the costumes and candy brought plenty of excitement, one of the most rewarding parts of the evening was seeing GCHS students interact with the younger students in their community.
Michelle Hoskins, staff sponsor of Student Council, shared that watching the "big kids" spend time with the little ones was one of the highlights of the event. Seeing high school students take pride in creating a fun experience for younger students is a reminder of the strong connections that make the Garrard County community special.
Garrard County High School is grateful to the student organizations, staff members, families and community partners who contributed their time and resources to make the event possible. Their combined efforts helped create an evening of fun for local families while giving GCHS students another opportunity to give back to the community they call home.
