Hello Gardner Community,

It was an excellent first week and I enjoyed every minute!  I have to say, the students have all grown quite a bit over the summer and the new kindergartners are just as cute as ever!  It was good to have them all back with us ready to learn!

Lost and Found

We still have a few items of importance in our lost and found in the office.  If your child is missing their glasses-for instance-you may want to stop by the office.  A red-framed pair was found Friday afternoon. 

Spirit Day Fridays

I am so excited about our spirit day Fridays!  Thank you to our clever PTA for coming up with this idea as a way to build community and school spirit.  Every Friday -- let’s all wear are Gardner Wear!
