Mrs. Gardner is going to be a Principal at Maple Grove Public School and Mitchell's Corners Public School. This will be her first time as a Principal. She has also taught primary and junior grades as well as Special Education. "I like a change in grades and I don't like teaching teaching the same E.S. studies etc. year after year", explained Mrs. Gardner. She also feels it's a challenge to meet new people and she has met several parents at Waverley and enjoys it. Mrs. Gardner comes from Port Hope and worked at Dr. Powers for nine years and she was Vice Principal at Ontario Street Public School, and learned some French there, since the school has a French immersion program. Mrs. Gardner always carries an owl around with her. I know that sounds funny, but what I mean is a yarn owl. A grade four student gave it to her and it is very special to her. Who ever gets Mrs. Gardner next will be grateful. We enjoyed having her at our school, and I'm sure we'll see her again.
