Thank you to all who are supporting our children. As the political climate changes, this kind of support becomes more important for their success in schools like Garfield Park Academy.
Also, a special thank you to the Golf Committee and all those who helped put this event together. This is the first year we have been able to run this tournament ourselves, and it is you who created its success.
