Active Families Day - 2/20/10

Renaissance Reborn Production - 12/3/09
Provided by the district’s creative and performing arts department, our 4th-6th grade students enjoyed the “Renaissance Reborn” production. It was a great mix of history, singing, and a lot of humor! As seen in the pictures below, several of our students were given costumes and included in the stories depicting life and values during the Renaissance period.

Mrs. Nuanez was used to demonstrate what happened during the Renaissance period when 2 people argued. You were locked together with a wooden contraption until your argument was resolved! |

Turkey Trot - 11/25/09
Another successful Turkey Trot is behind us. Students, teachers, friends, and family members gathered to celebrate Thanksgiving with physical activity. Each grade level walked, jogged, and ran around our quarter-mile path as many times as they could during their scheduled 30 minutes.
After each group finished, Mr. Collins announced the names of students who had won the random drawing for a frozen turkey to take home for Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks to the Lindbergh staff members, friends, and families who donated a total of 27 turkeys to be given away!

With support from our student council, Mr. Collins purchased turkey tokens and chains for each participating student to hang on backpacks. Each year there will be 2 new events with 2 new tokens, so students can start collecting them! |
Active Families Hike - 11/7/09
Our first "Active Families" event held away from Lindbergh was a hike at Papago Park. The weather was perfect, and everyone who made it had a lot of fun. Our sincere apologies to those who tried to come and couldn't make it due to nearby benefit walks and road closures. For our next hike, we will double-check for other conflicting events, and possibly try a new location!

We hope even more families will join us next time - watch for flyers for next month's family hike!!!
