I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our families for your incredible support during our recent Tiger Trot fundraiser and book fair! Your generosity and involvement made these events not only successful but truly memorable events for our school community.

Thanks to your efforts, the Tiger Trot fundraiser was a success! The PTO is able to pay for the buses for 1 field trip per grade or an in-person event for the grade. With the other events happening the Linden PTO is also able to provide a small Mini Grant for each grade!!

Below are some events, projects and fun our students have had in the last few weeks.

The Middle School SDG Club is hosting it's Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive.
Students are encouraged to donate items that are listed for their grade.

Please drop items off to the Main Lobby by November 17th. All donated items will support the Bread of Life in Malden.

Thank You - SDG Club
