A note from Mrs. DeNeen,
Dear Parents,
We need your help to complete a survey about what your children are talking about at home for The Leader in Me. This is a requirement for the generous grant we received. Answer honestly. We know that many may not have talked about it much at home yet but as we begin our journey we hope to see an increase in these discussions! We thank you in advance for taking the time to fill this out. Just click on the link below:
https://theleaderinmeonline.
Don’t forget to return library books tomorrow. We will be visiting the library tomorrow for book check out.
Thanks!
Reading Logs
Reading logs are being sent home today in your child’s red folder. Read at least 15 nights during the month of October and earn a free personal pizza from Pizza Hut, through the “Book It” program.
Boo Grams
This is a fundraiser to support our PBIS (positive behavior) program. They are also coming home in your child’s red folder. They cost 1.00 each.

Lindbergh’s Holiday Boutique
Lindbergh’s largest fundraiser is the Holiday Boutique that happens in November. At the event there is a basket raffle. Each classroom is to assemble a themed basket. Our class chose to create a basket based on Detroit Sports Teams.
We will be asking for monetary or merchandise donations for our basket soon.
It helps to have a “big ticket” item donation (for example, one parent has offered to donate Tiger Tickets!). Please let me know if you can help or have any “special connections” in regards to the Detroit Tigers, Lions, Red Wings or Pistons (it doesn’t have to be tickets – maybe you have another “big” item you would be willing to donate). We are trying to decide wither to focus on one team- or all of the teams!
The best part is that all of the money that is raised from the basket raffle is given to the teachers to spend on their classroom!
