Good Morning Gardiner Hawks! These are your announcements for Monday, September 25th
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.
September 15th to October 15th is Hispanic Heritage Month. Every year the U.S. selects a theme. This year it is, "Todos Somos. Somos Uno". The English translation is "We are all. We are one."
Please remember to check Lost and Found!! There are several lunch boxes that need to go home.
Calling all Gardiner 7th and 8th grade students!
