Happy Mother's Day!
We want to wish all the incredible moms of Gardner Street a very happy Mother's Day! It is YOU who gets these kids to school every day, signs the field trip forms, dresses them for spirit days, volunteers for the events, attends the teacher meetings, keeps the calendar and helps with the projects. We know it's a thankless job, but we see you and appreciate all you do for our students and our school!
Last week for CAASPP Testing
This week our 5th graders ONLY continue their CAASPP testing with the science portion of the test. The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) is California's statewide, computer-based testing system for students in grades 3-8 and 11. We ask that students continue to try to arrive on time, eat a good breakfast and get a good night's sleep.

Gardner GLOW!
6 - 8:30 PM
It's here! The party of the year! You do NOT want to miss this InterGLOWactic event that your kids won't stop talking about. This Friday, from 6 to 8:30 PM, there will be darkness, music, dancing, food and tons of neon in the galaxy of your dreams!
So get your tickets for our annual glow dance BY CLICKING HERE or at the glass doors before and after school this week. We also really need volunteers! PLEASE help us make this event a success by SIGNING UP HERE for a shift. You will still get to enjoy time with your kids. But when you step to give an hour of your time to events like this, it helps us raise the money we need to continue to pay for PE, music, art and cooking classes for your kids. We cannot do it without you. If you absolutely cannot volunteer, please consider donating from our Amazon wish list here!
