Charcuterie Box Assembly

February 11th we will be giving all the staff from both campuses individulaized charcuterie boxes and need your help assembling them! We will be meeting in the Farmhouse that morning at 8:30 to put them all together. It will be about 50 boxes in total.

Teacher Conference Help (K-6)

Tues, Feb 18, 2025, Wed Feb 19 and Thur, Feb 20, 2025 12:30 PM - 2 PM and 2 - 3:30 PM

While the homeroom teachers are meeting with parents, FROGS volunteers will help Devon, Millie, Maria, Jared, and Greg with activities for the students. 

Gardner Market

Friday, February 28, 2025 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

We need volunteers to help get the event set up, to help during the event, and to help clean up after it’s over.

Our K-6 students have been working hard on their various projects, creating unique handmade goods to offer to the Gardner community. Our Kalama and Pahto classrooms have been getting their first tastes of the Market by working on collaborative classroom projects that they will market and sell as a group in our Great Room. Our Loowit, Wy'East, and Klickitat students are ready to present their own individual booths, alone or with a partner, and will be setting up in the Great room and both portables for your shopping enjoyment!

Students will have the opportunity to close their booths for short periods in order to shop. They may bring up to $20 (preferably in one dollar bills) to spend at the event.  Adults are invited to come shop and to spend as much as they like!  A few booths will be offering food and beverage options, so grab a quesadilla and prepare for a fun afternoon of selecting Gardner-made products!  

Students entrepreneurs have the choice of donating 50% or 100% of their proceeds to this year's student-chosen Non Profit Organization.

This is a cash-only event, and while we will have change available on site, we'd love it if you brought small bills.
