The Linne Roar
Summer Edition
What's going on at Linne?
Happy Summer to All! There are lots of great things happening at Linne this month. Karate Camp, NLU Reading Practicum, The Illinois Writing Project, and plenty of cleaning, just to name a few. Work on a new playlot begins in a few weeks (hopefully it will be completed before the beginning of our school year!) and tile replacement in parts of the original building is scheduled to take place in August. The ILT has met to begin planning for SY19 Professional Development. Gabe and I both hope that you are enjoying much deserved time with family and friends. Enjoy your July edition of The Linne Roar and remember we are always just a phone call or email away:)

Staff BBQ
Don't wait until the last minute to decide what you will bring to our annual Back to School BBQ. Start thinking now about what delicious creation you will share with the staff.
Consider bringing a salad, side dish, dessert, or something yummy to grill. Be creative!
The BBQ will take place on August 31st at 11:30 in the courtyard. We will share a Google document in August so that we don't have too many of the same items.
Back to School Fair
Our annual Back to School Fair will be held on August 31st beginning at 1:00 in the playground. Parents have been encouraged to bring in school supplies and meet their children's teachers. We will provide flu shots for adults, after school providers will share information on their programs, and free backpacks will be given to students that attend the fair.
