THE WEEK AHEAD - SEPTEMBER 14TH

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH
Last Day for Community Closet Donations
Drop off your gently used children's and adult clothing, housewares, toys and goods for donation to our Community Closet. Our wonderful parent volunteer team will go through and organize everything before it opens in a couple weeks and everyone can come shop for FREE! Please do not donate bathing suits, underwear, items with stains or holes or items that are broken. If you wouldn't or can't wear or use it, please do not donate it. Drop all donations on the patio outside the auditorium doors (but inside the school).

Every Tuesday is an early dismissal! 

Back-To-School Night
 4 PM - 6 PM
It's our official Back-to-School Night! Come hear what your students' teachers have to say about the year ahead. Meet at 4 PM in the auditorium for messages from the Principal and others. Then you can attend classroom presentations beginning at 4:30 and 5:10. The class presentations are identical, but give parents with multiple children an opportunity to see two classes. Don't miss it! 



WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH
ELAC/SSC Election Meeting
 8:30 AM in the Science Lab
If you are interested in being part of our SSC (School Site Council) or ELAC (English Learners Advisory Board), please attend this meeting. WE NEED TWO MORE PEOPLE FOR SSC AND FOUR MORE FOR THE ELAC COMMITTEE. These are all important committees to be a part of, as they are part of the decision making teams at Gardner. We need parents on every committee, so we hope you attend and help us make the election official.
