Linden Leopard Growl
April 13th, 2022
Spring Break has Arrived!
Today truly felt like spring - The sun was shining and our outdoor cafe was in full swing. A special thanks goes out to the owners of Rita's Water Ice in Doylestown for graciously donating picnic tables. These tables, along with those our LHSA purchased last year, provide enough seating now for every grade level!
As we approach and celebrate the spring holidays, I wish all of our Linden families who are celebrating, a very Happy Easter, Happy Passover, & Happy Ramadan. May you enjoy the time with your family and friends.
