Gardner Technology Lab's Individual Student Calendars

Keep in mind that the monthly photos look GREAT on a School Calendar.  If you had your child's photos taken last year, Mr. Miller can use those photos to create a personalized calendar for the school year (August '08 - July '09) OR you can order a 2009 Calendar (Jan.-Dec. '09).  (Mr. Miller is now taking EACH student's photo every month and saving them to the students' network folder.  So, if your child has been here, the photos are available for creating your personal calendar featuring YOUR CHILD!)

You may add special dates to your calendar for only $1.00 per set of 10 to be placed on your calendar.

Be sure to order yours TODAY!  Just $20.00 per copy!
Contact Mr. Miller for more information.
