Monday, August 28th, was the last day of summer vacation for most of our staff.  The Lindbergh staff had other plans.  They spent the day at Lindbergh planning for the third year of Leader in Me implementation at the school.  One hundred percent of the staff voluntarily attended the day of training.

Congratulations to our next HFCA cohort.  There are 137 students taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity to earn their diploma and an associate degree in five years (not six) provided by Dearborn Public Schools at no cost to the parent.  An orientation was held on Monday morning, August 21st from 9-11am on the college campus.  Mrs. Peterson, Ms. Kobeissi, Mr. Gothro, Ms. Saad, Ms. Stevens and team, provided information and campus tours.

In cooperation with the Dearborn Parks and Recreation summer playground programs, first grade teacher, Miss Peterson, spent the morning engaging children in early literacy games at Crowley park.  Students aged 4-8 years old engaged in a variety of games involving reading and sight word recognition.

On July 20th, we held an informational meeting for all students who received the letter inviting them to be a part of the Henry Ford Collegiate Academy.  At 6:20pm we had to grab as many extra chairs as possible.  There were over 130 people in attendance and standing room only.  

Mr. Fadlallah, Mrs. Peterson and Ms. Gail Welmers (counselor at Edsel) shared information and answered questions until all were satisfied.  

Congratulations to all students who qualified for this scholarship.
