Welcome Lindbergh Parents, we are so excited to have you as part of our Lindbergh family. We have so many great opportunities for you and your student/s and we would love for you to be a part of any and all these activities. My name is Danielle Lewis and I am the Mother Vice President of the PTA. This is my 3rd year involved in the PTA as VP and 4th year as a very involved parent. I have two students at Lindbergh this year – Dominic Lewis (3rd grade- Robey) and Gianna Lewis (K- Miller). There is nothing more exciting for your young one but to have you involved with their life at school. And as a parent it is so rewarding. One opportunity to be involved is by being a Homeroom Parent!!!! This role can be filled by mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandparents…. anyone who can be available for a few events throughout the year.
As a Homeroom Parent you are a support for the teacher and the students and families in your classroom. We have 3 main responsibilities for our HR Parents at Lindbergh. We have 2 meetings a year that require attendance on your part. Each meeting has an AM or PM meeting time that we request you attend one so that you have all the info for our events, as well as any rules/policies.
1. Holiday Boutique Baskets– Each Lindbergh classroom is assigned a basket theme and collects donations from local businesses/establishments/classroom donations to create an amazing basket to be raffled off at our Holiday Boutique in November. The more desirable the basket…the more tickets we sell….and all the money made comes directly back to our teachers. Last year each teacher received $500 towards their classroom. Your job as HRP is to work on getting donations and getting your classroom involved in the donations. We will assemble the basket and wrap them up before the boutique. *required meeting
2. Classroom Parties and events. You along with any other HRP’s work together to plan parties with the teachers/students on their special days. This is the best part!!!!
3. Teacher Appreciation Week-During the month of May we have teacher appreciation week during which time we create posters to show appreciation for our teachers and decorate their doors. We also work with the classes for any special gifts or surprises during this week. *required meeting
This role is essential for our teachers. Your support in your children’s education and the fun events as well, encourages the loving, Leader in Me community that Lindbergh is so proud of. I hope that you can join our team of involved parents and if you have any question at all you can contact me directly. Please email your teachers by September 6th, so we can get our HRP meeting scheduled ASAP.
