We would like to officially welcome Kelsey Gardner as our new school nurse! Mrs. Gardner has four children and two stepchildren, and she absolutely loves Italian food and chocolate! If given an hour of free time, Mrs. Gardner would read, relax in a bubble bath, and play with her kids. Her dream vacation is to go to Europe and visit many countries there. She loves fantasy and adventure books, including Harry Potter and Rick Riordan books. A fun fact about Mrs. Gardner is that she can say “I don’t know” in ten languages!

He loves chicken alfredo, and his favorite dessert is cookie dough ice cream! He loves Star Wars books, and his dream car is a Dodge Viper. With an hour of free time, Mr. Mecham would go swimming. He can even hold his breath long enough to swim 50 meters at the bottom of the pool! If Mr. Mecham could go on any dream vacation, he would choose to go on a cruise to the Bahamas. Mr.
