Grab a bite to eat with friends at the Farmers Market in downtown Los Altos and then hop on over to Linden Tree for dessert and refreshments.

At 6:30p one of Linden Tree’s staff members will introduce us to some summer must-reads! Shop away and know that your money is going to support a school district (and a former GB teacher) in need!

Staff Appreciation Week!

Gardner Bullis Families, we are thrilled to be celebrating and honoring our wonderful teachers this week during Teacher Appreciation Week May 7-11th!  We have a full week filled with activities to show our gratitude!  Please be sure to do the following with your children to contribute to the love!

On Tuesday May 8th, each student is asked to bring a card to school for their teacher, with an anecdote or tale written inside about why their teacher is terrific.

On Friday May 11th, each student is asked to bring in a flower (from their garden or elsewhere) to contribute to a class floral arrangement for each teacher.

Thank you in advance for your help & collaboration! We look forward to a wonderful week of tributes for our amazing staff of educators.
