Gardner families and friends… It’s time to party!  

Gardner Street Elementary has joined PARTY BOOK, the online event catalog that allows ANYONE interested in supporting our school’s art, music, PE, science lab and edible garden programs to host a fundraiser on the school’s behalf. All proceeds generated by your fundraiser go directly back to Gardner! 

It is not only an excellent way to contribute to our children’s education, it is also a super way to meet other Gardner families and have fun.

So how does it work? 

Let’s say you are an excellent cook—or you’re really good at ordering catering from your favorite restaurant, whatever works!—and you want to host a dinner party for 10 at your home… You write a description of your event, decide on the ticket price (say, $50 a person) and we post your event on Gardner’s Party Book site. 10 tickets will be sold and the proceeds go to the school. You prep for your party, hang with old friends or meet some new people and have a blast. 

Maybe you’re a talented musician and you want to hold a kids music class at Plummer Park. 15 tickets are sold on our Party Book site for $10 a child. Gardner makes $150!

Perhaps you have access to the perfect setup for a pool party on a hot Fall day. You know the drill. Decide how many people you want to host, set the ticket price and we will post your event. 

One-on-one events work too! For example, maybe you’re an experienced hair stylist who can provide your services to an individual customer on a special occasion.

Some events and services will be adults only while others will be just for the kids or family friendly.

The options are endless…

- Exercise class in the park

- Paint and sip party

- Backyard movie night

- Bike Riding lessons

- Guitar or Piano lessons

- Wine tasting

- Valentine crafting in February
