Say YAY to PJ Day on December 9th
On Monday, December 9th, students and staff are encouraged to wear their comfy cozies and make a donation to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
If students wish to donate, classrooms will have containers for change or small bills. Donations are optional and not required to wear pajamas.
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: Peter McEntee, Natalie Paterno, Sam Creighton, Maggie Poling, Aven Burrows. Pictured below: Tristan Lindsay. Not pictured: Leia Holliday.
THE JOY OF GIVING
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!
Attention Kindergarten Families: Delayed Openings
The Central Bucks School District has implemented a "Modified Kindergarten Schedule" on weather delay days.
Please make a note of the following schedule:
- AM Students 11:05 AM – 12:50 PM
- PM Students 2:00 PM – 3:45 PM
This change does not impact transportation. Our kindergarten students will continue to be transported one way. AM students will come in on the buses with the delayed start times, and PM students will go home on buses as normal. Families will still be required to do the midday pickup/drop off times.
You can find additional information on the CBSD website: Modified Kindergarten Schedule
