Granbury ISD students and staff were “backing the
blue” to honor Texas and Hood County law enforcement on September 4, 2015.
Campuses throughout the school district featured
students, teachers, and other staff wearing blue recognizing the efforts of the
Granbury Police Department, Hood County Sheriff’s Office, and other local,
state, and national law enforcement agencies.
Texas flags were ordered to be flown at half-staff
by Governor Greg Abbott in honor of Darren Goforth, a Harris County Sheriff’s
deputy who was shot and killed while pumping gas in Cypress.
At Emma Roberson Elementary School, students sported blue shirts along with kindergarten
teacher Sara Galvan (wife of Granbury police chief Mitch Galvan), principal
Kellie Lambert, and therapy dog Bentley.
JROTC cadets stood at attention following raising
the colors on new flag poles at Granbury High School and then lowering the
Texas flag in honor of Deputy Goforth. Pictured are (left to right) Colin
Pieren, Cody Reynolds, Samuel Henthorn, and Robbie Chancellor.
