Hello Gardner Families,

It was an excellent first week of school and the students made this campus come alive again- as it should be!  The staff and I are so happy to have them here with us again.  This week, I went into every classroom to not only talk to the students about our new school rules: Grizzlies are Kind, Safe, Respectful, and Do their Best, but to also talk to them about being a “smile machine.”  It was a fun game that we played about the power of smile.  Ask them to show you.  J
