Upcoming Community Service Project

Because September is “National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month,” the SGPHS Interact Club will be making 3,000 gold ribbons for the Gage Overton Memorial Fund.

Gage was a teenager who lost his battle with cancer, and was the son of South Grand Prairie High School teacher Chrissy Gomez.

On August 31, our Rotary Club will be helping to assemble some of the 3,000 gold ribbons at Main Event from 12-1 p.m. Come join us!
