Lindbergh Gifted eNote

Please check the section for your child's program to see our weekly updates and any district updates!

Between the dates of January 22-28, 2025, students in grade 8 or lower have the opportunity to compete the American Math Contest 8. We currently have 11 students who are signed up for this online test. If interested, you may register your child using this link: Student Registration URL: https://maa.edvistas.com/datamate/testRegister.aspx?id=8a1a5771-9604-4757-af33-a9fdeb25896c. I will reach out to their school to schedule a time for the 50 minute test that week. The cost is $10 and payable via cash or check made out to Lindbergh Schools. Payments should be sent to the Idea Center.

The Idea Center is a place where I learn about myself and others, use my brain, and be creative each day!

Students will go outside for two recesses every day as long as the temperature and windchill ("Real Feel) are 20°F or above. Please ensure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for the weather with coats, hats, and gloves.

It’s also very helpful to write your child’s name on their winter gear to make it easier to return items that may end up in the lost and found. Thank you for helping us keep students warm and prepared for outdoor play!

Thanks for making a difference at the Idea Center!

Evelyn B.--While I was away at a conference for a couple of days, the sub wrote in her notes, “Evalyn was so helpful with little things throughout the day.” I was so grateful to hear how Evalyn made the sub’s day a little bit easier. Way to go Ev!

Emma D.--Emma is always the first person to offer to help her teachers and classmates. While I was getting my sub plans together, Emma helped me sort papers and organize my folders to leave the sub. I also witnessed her helping classmates clean up after projects when they were feeling overwhelmed.

We will continue to offer the amazing selection of used books for sale through this week and LEAP students may shop during snackcess, during recesses, or upon arrival. All books are 2 for $1!
