Boundary Updates:
Early next week, parents will receive an important email outlining the timeline for Lindbergh’s 2017 Boundary Committee, which will begin meeting later this month and will redraw the boundary lines for all Lindbergh elementary schools and middle schools. These decisions will affect every school in our district, and I encourage you to follow the committee’s progress at http://go.lindberghschools.ws/boundaries and on Lindbergh’s social media pages. The Boundary Committee will include parents from each school, in addition to district staff and community members. You will hear more about how to provide public feedback in February, and I will continue to provide updates in my future e-notes as well.

From Kid President’s Guide to Being AWESOME (Pg 114-115):
#37 “If you want to be a world changer for people everywhere, be a day maker for the people right next to you.
-Take a moment to think of ways you can make today more awesome for somebody next to you. Imagine a world where everybody decided to make the day for the person next to them better. If we all did that, then the whole world would be taken care of. Sound like a plan? Go be a day maker.”
Solving Real-World Issues Through Problem-Based Learning: Problem-based learning (PBL) is integrated at Two Rivers Public Charter School in Washington, DC, at every grade level—pre-K through eighth grade. Students are presented with a real-world problem, undertake a series of investigations, and create a product that they present to an authentic audience as part of the Expeditionary Learning (EL) Education framework.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebrations: Take a moment to share one way you are celebrating or have an idea for celebrating MLK day in the comments.
On Thursday, January 12th, we dedicated our very own "Buddy Bench" during our Facebook Live morning announcements. Adelyn and Grant Evans used their birthday money to purchase this special bench for Concord students. Grant noticed during his 3rd grade recess that some of the children didn't have someone to play with. After talking with his family, they decided to purchase this bench for Concord. A very heartfelt thanks to the Evans family, especially Grant and Adelyn, for this very generous donation!
