Dear Central Bucks School District Family,

Below is a video produced by one of our Holicong eighth grade students, Mason Matich. Mason was awarded first place in the recent CB Cares Educational Foundation “Dangers of Vaping” public service announcement contest. We encourage you to share this video with your family and discuss it together.

We’re proud of Mason, and the role he has chosen to play in helping to educate his classmates on this dangerous behavior. We thank CB Cares for their continued partnership in the health, wellness, and success of our community.

Great work, Mason!

Stay Well,

John J. Kopicki, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

Today the fifth graders went to the Doylestown borough pond to help stock the fish for the youth fishing program. A great time was had by all.

Fifth and Sixth grade artists are working hard creating woven scarves to donate to Code Blue in Doylestown. Thank you so much for your time and enthusiasm! The scarves will help so many during the cold weather next season.

Please enjoy the art display during conferences. Every student has an art piece hung outside their classroom.

As part of our Wellness Week, Linden hosted Family Fitness Night on Thursday March 21st. Families worked out together, had lots of fun and heard healthy messages about physical fitness, gratitude, and healthy habits in general. Mrs. Williams facilitated two workout sessions: HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and GLOWGA (yoga in the dark with glow sticks). Mrs. Logue shared the Swork-it Kids App and she explained how students are using their technology skills while still staying active in the PE setting. Mrs. Bredin was a fabulous support presence of our wellness team. This home-school message about health and wellness was well received by all. We are so proud to be part of this annual community -building event.

Congratulations Mrs. Bredin!

Our 5th and 6th grade teams will be competing in the Bucks County Reading Olympics on Wednesday, April 3rd, starting at 6:00 PM at Warwick Elementary School. Linden will have 5 teams (60 students) participating, and 11 faculty members who will volunteer at the event as well as chaperone our teams. The event is held every year as a celebration of reading. A big thanks to our LHSA who pays for our t- shirts, party, entrance fee and books!!

Our team names this year are: Starbooks, Team That Agreed on This Name, The Rockin’ Readers, I’m Readin’ It and McReaders.

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: Ellie Tweddale, Grace Dollarton, Rose Guerriero, Lily Sperance, Meghan Norris, Cooper Schea, Nikhil Koganti.
