🎃Candy Donations Needed for Trunk or Treat! 🍬

We are getting ready for our Trunk or Treat event on Friday, October 30, and we need your help to make it a success!

We are asking families who can donate bags of individually wrapped, nut-free candy to help us provide plenty of treats for our students!

You can send candy donations to school with your child or drop them off in the front office.

We appreciate every donation, big or small! Thank you for helping our PTO make this a fun and memorable event for our students and families! 🧡

A HUGE Shoutout to Our Amazing PTO!

We want to give a special THANK YOU to our wonderful PTO for their generous donation, which helped more students take home a book from the Book Fair!

Because of their kindness and support, students who might not have otherwise been able to buy a book could choose one of their own!

This is just one example of the many ways our PTO gives back to our school and makes a difference for our students.

Thank you, PTO, for always putting our students first and helping spread the joy of reading! We are so grateful for everything you do for our school community!

Kindergarten students at Gardners Elementary recently practiced their coding skills with Beebots. They were coding the Beebots (disguised as old ladies) to a variety of fall objects. Mandy Jenkins, the school's media coordinator, created the activity based on the book, "There was an old lady who swallowed some leaves!" by Lucille Colandro.
