I am Miss Gardina.  I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and come from a family of educators.  I attended CSUN where I earned my liberal arts degree and then my multi-subject credential in 1988.  I have taught mainly 3rd and 4th grade at Pinetree School since 1989.  Pinetree is my second home. It has been a privilege to work with this community throughout my career.  The students, families, and staff at Pinetree are the best!
