The Community Engagement Group invites you to help us celebrate 12 Days of Bruin Cheer for our school staff.
​
Our theme this year is Charlie Brown & the Gang. We are working with the student council, but we also need your help!
​
Click here to see the sign-up for the different treat days.
​
We also have a short Amazon Wish List for some prizes, and we need help securing some themed socks for the staff.
Teacher/Staff Wish Tree
Our teachers and staff work so hard, and we all know spend a lot of their own money to get things for the classroom. This is your opportunity to get something the teacher or staff really wants.
​
All you have to do is stop by the school and pick an ornament off the tree. There will be an item listed for a teacher or staff member, and a price. There is also a QR code where you can find the teacher and their wish with a link to order it.
​
Not in Gardiner? Not a problem. Text Laura (928-679-0204) and let her know you want to fulfill a wish and she can help you get an ornament.
Parent Support Group
NYEF has partnered with Park County Early Childhood Coalition to bring Parent Support classes to Gardiner School. We are still working out this year's logistics and want your input. Please complete our survey to help us decide on times and topics. We generally meet once a month for 1 hour. This can be either in person at Gardiner School or via Zoom. Please join us for this valuable support. As we know, raising kids isn't easy, but there are tools we can learn that will make a difference.

Gardiner School's Community
Garden
Over the past year, Gardiner School, in partnership with Farm to School and through a Whole Kids Grant, has expanded our garden.
​
Due to recent funding cuts, we are seeking community volunteers to assist with lessons that connect our garden to our lunchroom. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Laura Chastain at 928-679-0204. Thank you!

This workshop is intended to provide a quick and dirty overview of everything involved with writing grants. By taking a “a birds eye view” approach — touching on everything from dreaming up your big project to clicking “submit” on your final report — our goal is to demystify the grant writing process. By the end of this short workshop, Nico will empower you to speak passionately about your organization, compile meticulous attachments, and craft persuasive arguments for your projects such that funders will have no choice but to say yes.
