Gardiner Volunteer Opportunities:
There are a lot of ways to get involved and support your middle school student. Here are a few opportunities.

Parents, your feedback is wanted. In an effort to continuously improve our school we are asking for your feedback. Please take a few minutes and complete the following anonymous survey. The results of this survey will be evaluated by the Gardiner Site Council and be used to make decisions about professional development, policy and school improvement plans.

We are so pleased that more than 350 students chose to participate in our winter break activities and earn entries into our NOOK drawing.  Choosing to read, using IXL and Study Island were great options for students to expand their learning and keep their brains engaged.  On Friday, January 13th we drew eight names for the activities drawing.  We had five winners of Regal Cinema movie tickets, two winners of Barnes and Noble gift cards and one grand prize winner of a NOOK reader.  Congratulations to all our winners!
