GEOMETRY IN KINDERGARTEN!?
SLIDE ~ STACK ~ ROLL
Mr. Fasca’s kindergarten class is learning how to analyze and compare two and three dimensional shapes through a class project titled: Slide, Stack and Roll. While visiting classes today, I had the opportunity to watch our students as they created their own shapes using play-doh and toothpicks. Everyone was fully engaged, having fun and learning Geometry at the same time!
Here are a few photos to show off some Lindemann Pride!
4th Grade Enjoying CRANBROOK
Students from Mr. McDermott’s class are enjoying their field trip to Cranbrook. Field Trips provide excellent resources and first hand experiences beyond the classroom. We want to thank our parents for chaperoning and our teachers for proving such a valuable and educational opportunity for our students.
Good afternoon –
I would like to ask our parents to please not bring their dogs to school during drop off and pick up times at Lindemann Elementary School. The main office has received many different complaints about several different dogs (both small and large) that are causing some anxiety with many of our students and parents.
As the building principal, I am entrusted to create a safe school environment for our school community. During the end of the school day we release around 700 students at one time. As parents, we all know it’s a bit hectic on school grounds during that time of the day. Even our best trained dogs can get a bit jumpy at times. I would hate to find out one of our school community members were injured due to a dog bite, scratch, etc.
Parents – please do not take matters into your own hands by confronting other adults regarding our request to not bring dogs on the property. Please continue to express your concerns to the main office so we can reach out to those individuals.
I appreciate your cooperation and understanding. If you have any concerns please feel free to contact my office so we can further discuss this issue.
Thank you,
Mike Darga, Principal

M-STEP UPDATE
I could not be prouder of our 5th grade students! Over the past two weeks our 5th grade Lindemann Lions completed over 7 hours of state assessments. Our students were tested in the following categories:
- ELA Computer Adaptive & ELA Performance Task
- Math Computer Adaptive & Math Performance Task
- Social Studies Parts 1 & 2
I would also like to thank our staff and families for working together to prepare our students to be “test ready”. Great things happen when we work together as a team! As the building principal, I am excited to see our assessment results. I will be sure to keep you updated.
Third graders are up next — beginning the week of April 25.

Attention parent/ guardian:
Allen Park Middle School is participating in our 2nd annual hair event called, “Cuts Against Cancer.” Your child has signed up to donate at least 8 inches of hair on May 16th (Monday) after school with Mrs. Brown (social worker) and Mrs. Speakman (Science teacher). All of the hair donated will go to the organization, Children With Hair Loss. Please encourage your child to continue to grow their hair out so it will be long and healthy for the event. If you would also like to participate in the event, or if you know others who would like to, please invite them to help us reach our goal of 25 ponytail donations. On May 16th your student will meet in the Multipurpose room near the gym, directly after school. A stylist from Anthony’s salon in Allen Park will be on site providing blunt cuts. A donation jar will be on site if you would like to make a donation to Anthony’s salon. If you would like to cut your hair prior to the event and would like to donate your ponytail to our cause, please drop it off from 2pm-4pm in the multipurpose room on May 16th.
Originally, CWHL’s focus was on children fighting cancer, until we found out that there were a lot of other reasons why children lost hair including Alopecia, burns, Trichotillomania and other rare diseases and disorders. To this day, Children With Hair Loss has never charged a child. Currently, they provide a customized human hair replacement and care kit to over 300 children a year.
- Hair should be at least 8 inches in length or longer is preferred.
- Hair must be clean and dry, pony-tailed and/or braided (this keeps the hair in one direction).
- Place rubberband or pony tail holder on each end.
- Non-chemically treated hair is preferred (but any hair in good condition will be accepted).
- Gray hair is accepted.
I give my permission for my child to participate in the hair cutting event on May 16th, 2016.

The Children’s Hospital of Michigan Annual Cereal Drive to Combat Child Hunger
Children’s Hospital of Michigan 2016 Cereal Drive Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan is delighted to partner and be the recipient for the seventh year of the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Professional Nurse Council’s annual Cereal Drive ‘because hunger doesn’t take a summer vacation’ June 3 – June 10, 2016.
In 2010, the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Cereal Drive raised over 160,500 servings of cereal (14,180 pounds), the largest cereal drive in Gleaners history! Every year the Cereal Drive continues to exceed the previous years’ serving totals. For the sixth year celebration in 2015, 895,382 cereal servings were collected. An amazing total of over 2 million cereal servings have been collected by the Children’s Hospital of Michigan in six years! The impact of this community project is invaluable in the fight against child hunger. In southeast Michigan, more than 300,000 children receive free and reduced-price school meals. For many of these children, breakfast and lunch at school are the only meals they can rely on. The Cereal Drive affords Gleaners large quantities and choices of cereal to distribute through our partners to our community’s children who are home from school for the summer. Thank you to our friends at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan for their continued commitment to the health and well being of the children in our community beyond the walls of their hospital.
We look forward to the seventh annual 2016 Cereal Drive and hope you can join us. Gleaners’ thanks you in advance for your support.
Gleaners Community Food Bank is a 501 [c] [3] organization. Founded in 1977, Gleaners is one of the oldest and largest food banks in the country. In 2015, Gleaners distributed over 34 million pounds of donated and purchased food to 510 soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless shelters, senior homes, schools and other partner agencies that feed hungry people. A copy of our non-profit tax exempt letter is available on request.
