On Wednesday morning, park and come on in to the Farmhouse to see the artwork on display from our classrooms. The art will be on display through Friday, but the complimentary coffee truck will only be here Wednesday morning from 8:00- 10:00 am!
These pieces of artwork will be auctioned at the 2023 Gardner Auction on April 22nd, 2023. We have delicious appetizers and drinks planned for the event, and our caterers need our final numbers next week. If you haven't already, purchase tickets today to save your spot for the event. Your $100 ticket covers all the food, beverages, and activities for the evening. By hosting our auction event on Gardner's campus, we're making sure more of your gift goes directly to the programs you care about. You won't want to miss out!

Staff Introduction
Sheila FitzPatrick
|
|
|
As or Director of Business Operations, Sheila does a wide variety of work around Gardner to make sure our school is strong! While she likes to say she's the only "non-teacher" on campus, we all benefit from her vast knowledge around accounting, human resources, non-profits, and more. A native of Washington, Sheila has also lived all over the world—and was a Russian Linguist in the Air Force. She brings enthusiasm and joy to the operational work she does, but she also can be found engaging with the kids at Pizza Friday, supervising recess times, and more. Sheila supports all of us here at Gardner, and is always available to listen to parents and to take care of anything that comes up.
