Principal's Newsletter

Dear Parents/Guardians,

When I reminisce about my five years here at Lindeneau, I remember good times and the joy of seeing your children everyday. It is always so difficult to say goodbye in June, but as I prepare for the new school year my enthusiasm builds and I make it through the summer.

June was a month of celebrations and recognition. Our fifth graders bid adieu to Lindeneau with a happy yet bittersweet farewell ceremony. Lots of tears were shed but a new chapter begins and with each new chapter comes highlights and downfalls and we are all the better for having experienced it. Good luck to my very special fifth graders.

Our kindergarteners are officially sent off to first grade and a full day of school. I am sure that they too will love the transition and grow even more each day.

I want to wish the following people who are leaving our staff to pursue other positions good luck and success in all that they do: Mr. Figurelli, Mrs. Ruggiero, Ms. Dzibela, Mrs. Dighady, Mr. Mosley, Ms. Olsen, Mrs. Wheeler and Ms. Doherty. You will all be missed.

Have a great summer and enjoy working together on the Summer Reading Challenge.

Sincerely,
Rosemary Schutz
