Giving School Supplies to Kids Impacted by Hurricane Florence
Dear Linden Families,
You might have heard about Hurricane Florence that hit North and South Carolina, but what you haven't heard about is all the school children impacted by it. Many children have lost everything and are just going back to school with nothing. We want to help! Please consider making donations of school supplies here at Linden. We will accept any school supplies such as: Pencils, pens, notebooks, backpacks,and markers. These school supplies will be shipped to a school in North Carolina. Students can bring in school supplies between October 29th - November 9th. The top 3 classes with the most school supplies gets a breakfast provided by us.
Thank You Leading Leopards!
Emily and Abby Kelly, Kadence Garrano and Charlotte Haubrich

Reading Olympics Information
5th and 6th grade students! The Reading Olympics program is designed to help kids celebrate the joy of reading. This week in library we kicked off the event with an informational session in library class.
Teams of eight to sixteen students will read books from a prepared list. The list includes 45 titles in a variety of genres and reading levels.
To join our team, students can start by reading 1 book and writing 2 questions/answers to go with the book. (Info is included on the parent information letter)
Teams will be formed by December and we will meet approximately twice a month during recess.
The Celebration of Reading will be in late March. We will begin with a pizza party in the library before being bussed to the event. Our HSA generously pays for t-shirts, books and our pizza party!
