Kinder 2021 Promotion today - my first year at Garden Lake Garden Lakes Elementary School and Joey was the baby I’d always snatch up whenever he’d come on campus. Many PTA meetings I’d spend rocking him to sleep. Today Doodlebug promoted from Kindergarten - crazy how time flies.

Garden Lakes Ohana 🖤 ♥️ is back - Year #7 is going in the books - last year was Covid and this year we are under construction 🦺 🚧 🏗 - it’s an Atypical start to the 2021-2022 school year, but we are just gonna roll with it. #wegotthis

Garden Lakes hosted a family night, “WILD ABOUT YOU” to celebrate and thank our parents and community members for standing with us through these last two years. We started out with a ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of our newly renovated library. #GLOHANA❤️

It was so awesome to see our turnout - we provided: food trucks, icecream sales, Kona Ice, themed baskets for raffle, popcorn booth, photo booth, tours of the renovated library and each grade level K-8 hosted an interactive activity for our families to enjoy. #GLOHANA
