Dear Lindemann Families,
On behalf of the Lindemann Staff, we would like to personally express our thanks and appreciation for your ongoing support as we come to the close of a great school year. We feel honored to have such supportive parents, involved community members and motivated students.
Special thanks to our outstanding PTA for their efforts in ensuring our students have the best education possible. We could not do it without your continued support. We also sincerely appreciate the hard work the teachers, support staff, office staff, and custodial staff have put into this wonderful year.
And now, we get ready to say goodbye to our 5th grade students. It is bitter-sweet, we are so proud of all our fifth grade students and what they have accomplished and we are confident that they are well prepared for middle school but how could they be leaving us already? Wasn’t it just yesterday that they were practicing their sight words and you were dropping them off at the Kindergarten door? Thank you for entrusting your child to us and for all that you have given to Lindemann Elementary. We wish all of our 5th grade student’s great success at Allen Park Middle School!
I wish each of you a happy, safe, and fun-filled summer. We will see you back here at “home” in September.
Best regards,
Michael H. Darga
Principal

PRESS RELEASE:
Allen Park Public Schools is very pleased to announce a special project taking place at Lindemann Elementary, 9201 Carter, Allen Park, on THURSDAY JUNE 9th. The project is called Art for the Sky, and the premise of the project is that all of the students create a living painting with the help of artist Daniel Dancer.
Dancer has been creating Sky Art for over 30 years, all over the United States, Canada and in countries like Holland, Australia, and India to name a few. However, Lindemann Elementary will be the 1st MICHIGAN school to partake in this project This opportunity is made available to us through a grant fund by the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs and due to the extraordinary efforts of Rachel Trapani, APPS Art Teacher. We have nearly 700 students at Lindemann Elementary so our sky art painting will be quite large!
Below is a news clip about the Art for the Sky project at a Florida Elementary School

We would love for you to attend the living painting project on June 9 from 1:40-2:30 p.m. It’s always uplifting to see, read and hear about positive stories on the news, especially those that feature children!
Per the attached invitation/schedule, on June 8, students will attend an introductory assembly by grade level. Daniel Dancer will explain the history and science behind this type of art from the earth. Then they will will begin to grid out the design on the field in the afternoon. The design will be finalized during the morning of June 9, and weather permitting, children will begin assembling for the living painting at 1:40 p.m. (Rain out date is June 10 at 8:40 a.m.) Concluding assemblies are scheduled throughout the morning of June 10 and students will watch the Art for the Sky video and view the aerial photo of our image for the first time!
Below are a few pictures to give you an idea of what the aerial photo looks like. Lindemann Elementary will be focusing on the Kirtland Warbler, a bird from Michigan’s endangered species list, that was near exhibition before our state created protected areas in the northern counties to ensure its survival.

Each dot of color is a student of that school. The color of their shirts correspond with the colors of the image in order to create the living painting.
