Lindbergh Community
To ensure student safety and maintain communication, I am sharing the following information to inform and not to alarm you regarding an incident experienced by one of our students.
During dismissal, one of our students was walking home on North Waverly when a white Explorer with tinted windows started following him, it honked its horn at him and appeared to drive and stop as the student continued to walk. It wasn’t until the student got to his car that the other car left. The student did the right thing and stayed away from the car. This incident has been reported to the proper channels.
Please make sure to review stranger danger with your child. Below are a few tips if needed:
We appreciate your help as we work together to keep all of our students safe.Zainah TibaPrincipalCharles A. Lindbergh Elementary School

Writing:
Students continue to write with detail in their journal. In addition they are helping me write stories, recording specific sounds they hear.
Math:
We continue our Measurement unit with exploring using a balance. We introduced the vocabulary “heavier than” and “lighter than.”
Science
We used our sense of sight to mix colors and make observations of new colors that appeared. Students were excited to use science tools to mix, drop, and explore.
Social Studies
We introduced the concepts of Needs and Wants. We recorded our ideas of what our needs and wants are.
We also continued our Second Steps lesson on feelings, identifying feelings on our friend’s faces and responding appropriately.
Have a great weekend!
**Yesterday’s message included an option to write a check as your donation. WE ARE NO LONGER offering this option. In an effort to streamline the process with such a quick turnaround, we’ve decided to accept monetary donations at Bingo for Books this Friday only. So sorry for the confusion! Thanks for your patience, it’s our first try at this kind of program ️**
Greetings Flyer Families and Friends!We all know that the holidays are supposed to be times of togetherness and joy, but for many families they can be stressful and anxiety filled. The idea was brought to us to launch a drive to help a local family in need this holiday and everyone was excited to be a part of it.
So here it is Flyers…The First Annual Lindbergh Adopt-A Family Program!
This year we will be supporting the family of a local woman, recently divorced and living in supportive housing with her 7 children. She’s a graduate of Divine Child and works full time but is having a hard time making ends meet. The children range in ages from 6 to 18, two of which have a disability. Each family member took some time and wrote out a wish list. The lists are far from flashy and contain many simple necessities. Things like fluffy blankets and pillows, twin sheets, household supplies, boots and shoes. They also include fun things like footballs, Pokemon cards, scrunchies, Popsockets, gift cards and purses. We’d love to make this a holiday to remember for this family so here’s where we come in Flyers!!
We understand not everyone is able to get into the school to choose a tag so we’ve established 3 ways for you to donate:
1. Select a tag from the “gift tree” that we have placed in the lobby. Wrap the gift, attach the tag and place in the bins we will place in the lobby. Take some time to look at the tags, there are some good ones in there! Again, they aren’t flashy and many are only in the $5 range.
2. Drop a gift card in the office in ANY denomination (no gift is too small) to one of the following locations: Target, Amazon, Kroger OR Aldi
3. The PTA will have a table and donation jar at Bingo for Books this Friday to collect cash donations, things already purchased and help with tag selection!
These are by no means the only ways to give. We are open to suggestions. The only thing that is FIRM is the deadline.
DEADLINE FOR DONATIONS IS DECEMBER 16th
We’ve already gotten things rolling with EXTREMELY generous gifts from Executive Dentistry in Dearborn and The Dearborn Goodfellows!(If you know of a Lindbergh family that could use some help this season, please contact Ms. Tiba or any PTA board member)
Questions/donation arrangements can be sent to:
Danielle Lewis – ddoliveriolewis@gmail.com
Sarah Neubauer – Neubauer156@gmail.com
Thanks to everyone in advance and Happy Holidays!
