Thanksgiving Basket Donations
Dear Linden Community,
This year we will once again extend the spirit of giving to the Thanksgiving Holiday. Each grade will be collecting items to donate for local families in need. We are suggesting that each child bring in certain food items to contribute to the holiday meal. Contributions will be collected in the classrooms.
Linden's Giving Tree
Dear Linden Students, Families and Staff,
As the holiday season approaches, we have the opportunity to show the spirit of warmth and compassion to families in our community. As we begin the season, you are invited to select a tag from our Giving Tree. The tree is displayed in our school main lobby and will remain there through this season of giving. What a wonderful time of year to work together to ensure all Linden families are supported. You are welcome to take a tag to purchase a gift card for a family in need. All cards are due back by Friday, December 13th.
We, as a staff, would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your generosity!
Warmest holiday wishes to you and your family!

Linden Leopard PAW Winners
These Leopards have demonstrated one or more of Linden's core values: Respect, Responsibility, Cooperation and Citizenship. They all earned Linden Leopard Paws and placed them in our new "Paw Bin" located in the front lobby. Each student's Paw was picked this week, and we recognize each of them for their efforts! Congratulations to these kiddos! Pictured are: Finnegan Haddon, Sierra Kalnajs, Isabella Camacho, Tess Devlin, Alex Munn, Beth Clift, and Bree Friend
Linden Staff's 1st Fitness Friday
On Friday November 8th, Linden Staff did their 1st Fitness Friday -STAFF WALK & TALK. This Linden Wellness Committee initiative was created with the purpose in mind to promote many facets of wellness (physical, mental, social, emotional) among staff while having fun with each other and getting some fresh air. Many staff reported it was a great start to their morning and the feedback is to do this walk weekly! The walk path was approximately 15-20 minutes/ 1.25 miles and a little hilly. Good health habits begin with adults as role models to children so perhaps you can start a family walk and talk at home!
Box Tops Reminder
And new this year, box tops will be able to be scanned via the Box Top app. Eventually clipping box tops will be phased out and replaced with digital-only box tops. For now, Box Tops for Education will accept both. Each box top is worth 10 cents for Linden. Send them in or scan them...they all add!
