My name is Ryan Leigh Gardiner. This is my first 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 this year from Birmingham-Southern College.

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

4. I LOVE animals!! I currently have a dog, a cat, 5 chickens, and a few horses.

5. The Magic Treehouse is my favorite book series.

I am so looking forward to getting to meet my first ever class this year. I am proud to be a Deshler Tiger once again!
