Gardiner School Saved
Did you know that in Feb. 1953 the School District Superintendent Carder and the School Board wanted to tear down the Gardiner School but a strong stand by the Gardiner Women's Club saved the day. That same year, the Ladies elected to join the Washington State Federation of Garden Clubs and thus became the Gardiner Garden Club, as well as getting a sink installed with drain boards from the School District. (From the Minutes of the Gardiner Women's Club 1953).
