Good Morning Gardiner Hawks! These are your announcements for Monday, April 15th

Please stand if you’d like to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance. If you choose not to participate, please remain respectfully silent.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the

Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and

justice for all.
You may be seated.

We also take time today to read our land acknowledgement. This is in front of our school near the office. Come by and take a look! 

We acknowledge the land on which we sit and occupy today as the traditional home of the tribal nations, Clackamas, Watlala also known as Cascades, Clowwewalla also known as Willamette Tumwaters, and Northern Molalla. All of whom were relocated after signing the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855 to the Grand Ronde Reservation and today their descendants are members of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. With gratitude, we look forward to the generations for whom this will be a place of learning.

Today is the last day to pre-purchase yearbooks.  If there are any extra yearbooks at the end of the year they will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.  As always, yearbooks can be purchased in the Welcome Center before school, at both lunches and after school. Yearbooks can also be purchased online by going to the Gardiner website and clicking on the Online Payment tab under Family Hub!  Buy your yearbook today!

This is the last week for the Gardiner PTSO Flower Basket Fundraiser! Flower Baskets can be ordered using the online form, then drop off the payment in a sealed, labeled envelope to the front office. This is the last fundraiser of the year and will go towards end of year reward trip celebrations and more!

Good morning Gardiner Hawks!  Remember that today we begin tracking criteria to participate in the end of the year celebration activities for your grade level.  The end of year celebrations are a really cool day to get off campus, celebrate what we’ve done this year, and have some fun!  We want to make sure you finish the year strong by being respectful, responsible, safe and kind!  Starting today, through the celebration day we want to to encourage to ask yourself about your choices:

Is it respectful?

Is it responsible?

Is it safe?

Is it kind?

Remember to participate in the end of the year celebrations you can’t receive 1 Major referral or receive 3 minor referrals, or complete a Personal Electronics Card, or rack up more than 10 unexcused tardies.  Any of these are disqualifiers from the end of the year celebration days.  Let’s make the final two months of the school year great!

Tomorrow we have our first home Track & Field meet!  Gardiner will be hosting several other schools to compete.  This is a great opportunity to show your school spirit and to cheer on your friends!

Students, please remember that the same expectations apply at school events as during the school day.  The only thing that changes is that you can use your phone at the end of the school day.  If you choose to attend the Track & Field meet as a spectator, you must still be respectful, responsible, safe, and kind, just like you would during school hours.  Students still need to follow directions from adults and respond to requests appropriately.  Inappropriate behavior at a school event can result in a referral.  Let’s show all those other schools how great Gardiner Hawks can be!

Next week is the last full week in the month of April!  We’re going to have a Spirit Week with dress up days!  Remember that all dressing up must follow our district’s dress code.  All images and words must be appropriate for school, staff must be able to identify you so you can’t have anything covering your face, your dress up can’t be disruptive to learning.
