Have a great weekend!

The students at Lindbergh have been studying, “The 7 Habits of Happy Kids.”

It is the Kindergarten and Young 5’s turn to teach the next habit, “Synergize” (working together is best) to students at the PBIS (Positive Behavior) assembly on Wednesday.

We will be signing a song to teach this habit.

The assembly is at 10:15 a.m. if you would like to attend.

We are asking that students wear a yellow or white shirt and jeans on Wednesday.  We will be dressing them up as “Minions” (the tune we are using to sing to is from the movie Dispicable Me).

Thank you for your help!

Don’t forget Wednesday is a late start!
