Good Morning Gardiner Hawks! These are your announcements for Wednesday, October 4th
September 15th to October 15th is Hispanic Heritage Month. Philip Bazaar was the first Hispanic American to be awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration of the United States for valor in combat, for his service in the U.S. Navy during the Civil War.
Attention ALL Gardiner students, For the month of October we are holding a school-wide contest. Gardiner students are respectful, responsible, safe and kind. Responsible students get to class on time and are prepared to learn. Therefore, for the month of October, the neighborhood team with the fewest number of tardies will win 15 additional minutes of recess. Remember, get to class on time, and let's do this, Gardiner!
This is National Banned Books Week. Banned Books Week is a celebration of our freedom to read whatever age-appropriate materials we want to read in our schools. Check out the banned books display this week in the ALC and participate in the banned books challenge to expand your worldview and win prizes!
Interested in joining backpack buddies? Backpack buddies is a non-profit program that offers children non-perishable bags of food for the weekend and some breaks. You can pick up a permission slip in the student support center and return it to Ms. Hernandez or Mrs. Shelton
This week's football game is TOMORROW night at 7:00 p.m.. The cost is $4.00 for students. There is a section in the main stands for middle school students! Be sure to leave all backpacks, outside beverages, scooters, skateboards, footballs, and other items at home. They will not be able to come into the game with you. All students must show responsible, safe, respectful, and kind behavior at the game and plan to stay seated in the stands. Please bring your student I.D! Please, also take a photo of your student ID in case you forget it and have it ready to show as you enter at the lower gates at the stadium.
The No Place for Hate group will meet for the first time TOMORROW in the Game Room during first and second lunch. Feel free to bring your lunch so that we can get started early. Let's make some positive changes at Gardiner!!
