The Lindenwold School District was recently awarded $28,811,823 as part of the State of NJ School Construction Funding Awards. The NJ School Development Authority awarded $450 million to 261 districts across the state and LINDENWOLD RECEIVED THE LARGEST AWARE IN THE STATE!
We will use these funds to complete Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) improvements at all buildings as well as replace the majority of the roofs at all school building locations. HVAC worked is planned to begin this summer and continue approximately throughout the next 2 years.
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, students at LHS enjoyed an interactive Flamenco assembly starring New York City based music teacher and performer, Barbara Martinez. Students learned about the history of Flamenco through live song, dance, and guitar playing.
DISTRICT FAMILY NIGHT #1 OF 3
Our District hosted the 1st of three large-scale community events for this school year. Hispanic Heritage Night was a HUGE success!

The Lindenwold School District would like to give a huge Shout Out to High School Physics and Computer Science teacher Mr. Bryan Callow. Mr. Callow was chosen to be an Amazon Future Engineer Teacher Ambassador this past year. Mr. Callow is the only ambassador to be selected from New Jersey. To be considered for this program, Mr. Callow went through an extensive application process which included information about himself and the district, short answer questions, and a 3-5-minute video.
According to Amazon, “The Amazon Future Engineer Teacher Ambassador Program exists as a paid professional development experience designed to increase access to computer science and technology for all students and teachers. Approximately, 50 educators from across the United States representing a diverse range of grades, regions, and communities will be selected for a two-year long commitment.” Mr. Callow started his Teacher Ambassador journey this summer with meetings in Seattle, Washington, and he will continue his professional Development with virtual meetings every month. Mr. Callow stated that, “I am very grateful and humbled to be a part of this, and I look forward to driving the growth of computer science education in Lindenwold.

During an evening Lindenwold High School program, several students made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for "Treats on the Streets" as they partnered with For The Love of Pete's Pantry in New Jersey These kids are helping to change the world..one hungry belly at a time!
Lindenwold has now partnered with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. Students and staff had the opportunity to meet 4 dogs and learn about how they are trained, certified, and how they comfort people. Together they learned our largest friend, a small horse, had traveled all over the country to comfort students after horrific school shootings. Most surprisingly, students were shocked with how some of these dogs had even been trained to be "detectives."
