📸 Throwback Thursday

📜✨ Look at these official gems unearthed from the GLES archives! These Georgia Accrediting Commission certificates certify Garden Lakes Elementary School for the 1965–1966 and 1966–1967 school years! 🎓

We are loving the classic 1960s typewriter print, vintage gold borders, and retro green and orange ink—a true testament to decades of academic excellence right here at the Lakes! 💙

Were any of your parents, grandparents, or neighbors attending GLES back in the mid-1960s? Tag them or drop a story in the comments below!

We love celebrating the deep history and tradition of excellence at the Lakes! 👇
