Hello GB Community,

Welcome back from the Thanksgiving break!  I do hope you all enjoyed friends, family, and soul-warming food.  My family and I were able to spend some time in the snow this year and that was absolutely magical.  The staff is excited to be back and ready to finish the calendar year off strong.  Please be mindful of all of the exciting events coming up this month, but in particular, picture retakes are this Thursday and our Kindergarten & New Family Night is Thursday, December 6^th at 7:00 pm.  This night is for incoming kindergarten and new families to come and learn about the awesomeness of Gardner.  If you have neighbors with little ones ready for school next year or are new to the community, please invite them to our planned evening.

A Season for Giving

We currently have two important opportunities for giving.  1) Second Harvest: food cans will be with us until Wednesday the 28^th and are still in need of dry and canned foods. 2) Project Night-Night:new blankets and/or stuffed animals are being collected for homeless children in the Bay Area.  Grizzlies will be able to help us put giving bags together during our Book Fair Night on December 10^th.

Happy to see all of you tomorrow,

Nadia Oskolkoff, Principal
