A big shoutout to Livingston Healthcare for hosting a healthcare career day last week for students.
Chantel Hicks and Erin Barcus did an amazing job creating a day where students got to learn and experience what it would be like to work in a hospital with 8 different stations: from Cardiac Rehabilitation (PT, OT), Imagining ( MRI, CT, X -Ray, Ultrasound, etc....), Lab work, Pharmacy, Human Resources, Emergency Department services, etc......
Students participated in hands on activities and learned about what types of training they would need to enter specific fields of study.
Thanks again! We plan to attend again next year!!
The Book Fair is just days away! Join us in the elementary Library April 6-9. The Fair encourages students to read AND raises much-needed funds for our school.

The Gardiner School and the Junior Class would like to thank Xanterra, Ray Foote, Kevin Grastorf, Ridley's Family Market, and many others for their incredibly generous contributions to making prom an amazing and memorable experience. The Mammoth Masquerade Prom on March 27th in the Map Room at the Mammoth Hotel was truly a night to remember. Thanks to all of you!
MANDATORY MEETING tonight April 1st in the HS Library for JH, HS Track parents at 6pm.
For National FFA Week in February, Gardiner FFA hosted the annual elementary FFA coloring contest. This year there were two special aspects of the coloring contest- 1. There was 74% of the elementary that participated this year, with 1st and 3rd grade having 100% of the class participation. 2. Our own FFA member Haven K. created the coloring pages this year. She didn’t want to utilize color pages created with the use of AI so she asked if she could make them herself. She based them on the symbols that represent the six different FFA offices. Not sure how we’re going to top these pages down the road!

Thank you Mr. Carlson for providing line dancing lessons to our 7-12 students today!
This message was shared with high school students, but we also encourage our school community of parents to consider volunteering as well!
Hello Students!
I was asked to share this opportunity with you. There is a blood drive this Friday March 27th, from 11:30 to 5 at Yellowstone Forever (in the conference room, behind the gift shop). This is a great way to give back to our community.
I know that day is also prom and there's always a lot going on, but there are three fairly easy ways you can be involved:
1. Donate blood (must be 17 or older). Go to this website to make an appointment. There are several appointments available between 12:30-2:15! They are giving $15 Amazon gift cards and there are cookies. Eat a protein-based lunch and drink lots of water if you donate!
https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/find-drive?utm_source=Meta&utm_medium=Paid&utm_campaign=%7B%7Badset.name%7D%7D&utm_content=%7B%7Bad.name%7D%7D
2. Volunteer as a helper. No age limit to help with this. You are helping with check-in and are an extra hand to provide items to those that are donating blood.
3. Bake and donate cookies to give to the drive. It's best to also give a note with main ingredients (gluten, eggs, nuts, etc.) to help those who have food allergies know.
I really hope you consider this, as they would be so grateful to have the help!
Mrs. Hoppe
Runners get ready! Jr. High and High School track practice starts tomorrow after school.
