E-choices/GATE meeting
8:30 AM in the auditorium
This is the second (and last) offering of our E-choices/GATE meeting before the Choices deadline. Come find out more about the application process for magnet schools (such as our own Art Integration Magnet), as well as more information about LAUSD's Gifted And Talented Education program, how your child can qualify and what that means. This meeting is especially important for fourth and fifth grade parents who are thinking about middle schools.

Family Dinner Night at Pan Pacific Park!
5-8 PM
Join us for a fun Friday Family Dinner Night in the park! End your week at Pan Pacific Park with your Gardner family - without cooking. There will be tacos for sale and made on site by JJ's Artisan Kitchen, with 20% going back to Gardner. Bring your friends and neighbors, and let the kids play while we all eat and celebrate the weekend. We will meet you at the orange and blue playground!
Gardner Give: Art vs Gardening/Cooking!
We're back with another flash version of the Gardner Give! This time Art and Gardening/Cooking are competing! In the next month, we will be raising money to fund these two programs for the year and YOU get to decide where your money goes. Will you and your family pick painting and pottery or plants and pancakes?! Choose your favorite and then donate just to that program. As a reminder, it costs us $40 a month per child to fund all of our programs, as they are NOT funded by the district. We just ask that you give as generously as you can. We only have about 35 families giving at this point and we need 100% participation! Just give SOMETHING! This contest ends in one month - so let's see who takes the title of Gardner family favorite. Click here to give!
Last chance to win a Ralphs gift card!
Sunday, October 12th is your last chance to enter to win a $25 Ralphs gift card! You can win just by linking your Ralphs card to Gardner and sending a screen shot of the confirmation to friendsofgardner@gmail.com. This is another way we can raise cash for our school, just by grocery shopping. You shop, and a percentage of your total goes right back to Gardner. It's quick and easy and can be done online once, then you never have to think about it again. Please click here to see the full instructions.
REMINDERS
Gardner Green recycling every Wednesday!
Don't forget about our weekly Gardner Green program! Recycling is up and running every Wednesday morning at drop-off. You just drop your cleaned out glass and plastic containers at the double doors or the Gardner Gate and our Green Team will take it to get cash back for our fifth grade camping trip.
