🛍️ Gators Go Shopping — with the help of Tigers.
More than 120 Glasgow Middle students took part in the second annual Gift Cards for Gators event on Friday at the College Drive Walmart. Members of the LSU gymnastics team joined some Glasgow students in the effort. Each student received a $100 Walmart gift card after working with a mentor teacher on budgeting skills and writing thank-you notes.
Students were tasked with purchasing a gift for a family member, a gift for themselves and a gift for someone at Glasgow.
Any remaining funds were sent home to support their families.
