Linden's 1st Team Building Day
On Thursday October 10th (rain date October 17th) Linden staff and students will participate in a morning of TEAM BUILDING activities while celebrating unity, diversity and being the ONE for others. We will have fun, wear our ONE shirts, build relationships with each other and use social skills and life skills such as teamwork, creative thinking, problem-solving and cooperation. Please note this is a school-wide experience for Linden staff and students only. Parents should not attend this event but should ask their child(ren) to share their team building experience at home and maybe replicate with the family!
