**During Thursday’s special lunch, we are looking for two parents to cover each class while teachers and staff enjoy their lunch.  You will arrive 15 minutes prior to the students’ lunch hour, check in to our office and get a visitor sticker.  Parents can head to the cafeteria, find the classroom they are covering and remain ~ 1 hour.  Please remember that if we have outdoor recess you will be outside keeping an eye on the kids during this time, making sure they are safe.  If weather does not permit, parents would be in the classroom.

Sign up here to cover staff during Thursday’s lunch: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090e4caaa72da4fd0-teacher2

Any questions, please let me know. Thanks for your help!

Hey, Flyers!  It’s Box Tops Collection time!

Lindbergh Elementary is collecting Box Tops to raise money for our school.  Did you know that some local schools raise thousands of dollars for their schools each year, just by clipping and submitting Box Tops?  Box Tops can be found on many General Mills products, as well as hundreds of others (complete list at www.boxtops4education.com).

Its easy to participate!  All you have to do is cut the Box Tops off the package and affix them to the sheets sent home with students last week OR you can place them in a baggie in groups of 50.  **Please do not send in expired Box Tops or Campbell’s Soup labels, which are no longer valid.

Remember that each Box Top is worth 10 cents–they add up quickly!

The classroom that collects the most Box Tops by Friday, May 18th, will win a special surprise for the class!

Sincerely, Joslyn Lazarevski and Felicia Miller, Box Top Chairs, Lindbergh PTA
