About Us
At Gardner Elementary School, we believe every child is important. We want all students to learn, grow, and feel proud of who they are. We have over 200 students from Kindergarten to 5th grade. Our students can join fun activities like Academic Games, which help them think in new ways, and the Student Council, where students learn to be leaders. At Gardner Elementary, we are more than a school; we are a family. We welcome every child and every parent to be part of our caring and supportive community.
