My name is Ryan Leigh Gardiner. This is my third year as a teacher, and I am so excited to be teaching 2nd grade here at G.W.T.!

Here are a few things about me:

1. I graduated from Deshler High School in 2016.

2. I received my undergraduate degree in Collaborative Education from Birmingham-Southern College. I have my Masters in Elementary Education from the University of North Alabama.

3. I cheered for Deshler and through college, and I am the middle school cheer coach!

4. I am getting married this year, so my last name is changing to Roden.

5. The Magic Treehouse is my favorite book series.

I am so looking forward to  this year. I am proud to be a Deshler Tiger!
