We wanted to share an update regarding our Day of Caring event scheduled for Friday, 5/1.
Due to the forecasted heavy rain on Thursday and the potential for continued rain on Friday, we have decided to postpone the event to our rain date on Tuesday, 5/26. The anticipated wet conditions would limit the number of projects students could safely and meaningfully participate in.
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility, and we look forward to providing students with a great Day of Caring experience later in May.
Thank you,
Mrs. Arnold

Gardiner Area High School is excited to participate in a school-wide United Way Day of Caring event on May 1, 2026. On this day, our students will be engaged in meaningful community service projects throughout the MSAD 11 community, giving back and making a positive impact.
This spring and fall, United Way partners with 26 local schools and programs, along with area businesses, to connect student volunteers with service opportunities across the Kennebec Valley. The Day of Caring is a powerful reminder that volunteering brings out the best in all of us, and we are incredibly proud of our students for the compassion, teamwork, and community spirit they demonstrate through this event.
