Just a reminder. Picture retake day is tomorrow! If you want your child to get their pictures re-taken, please bring back the pictures you received earlier this week. If your child was absent on the original day, they will get their pictures taken tomorrow!

Nurse Krysta is looking for donations of boy and girl, small, medium and large sweatpants. If you have any that your child has out grown, feel free to send them with your student, and have them drop them off in the office.

Hello, Gardner Elementary Families! It’s that magical time of year again--BOOK FAIR! This year is very different, but hopefully kids will still be able to get some good books! There will be no in-person shopping. Each student who wants to buy a book will have to set up an account with Scholastic and then add money to their “ewallet.” This is how they will pay--no cash or checks accepted. Sorry. You can shop online or make a list of books for us to pull from the cases we have at school. Online orders may be subject to shipping charges. Here’s how to order books from our in-school book fair: Check out the flyer and the website to find some great books. Search scholastic.com/fair and put in our zip code 66030 then click “gardner Elementary” Scroll down and click on “New Virtual Fair!” This has a lot of the titles we have on display in our cases--but not all! Check out the school Facebook page for the book fair photos that we will post. The prices will be displayed in front of each book. You will complete your “wish list” on the flyer we sent home. Please include the complete title and price of the item. Add money to your child’s ewallet--Don’t forget tax! (Sales tax is 9.475%) Return wish list to school. Someone will collect the books for your student and send them home. Please Note: Due to Covid-19, we cannot have volunteers come into the building to help. We may have a lot of orders come in, so please give until the next day to return orders
