This week we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Ms. Kylie Matheson, our wonderful new librarian!
Ms. Kylie has truly jumped right into the library with enthusiasm and grace. She’s already building great connections with students and has been incredibly helpful to teachers—especially with AR support. Her positivity and willingness to dive in wherever needed have made her a fantastic addition to our Linden family! 💛
To celebrate her hard work, Ms. Kylie will enjoy the honor of displaying the coveted apple 🍏 for the week, and she’ll also find a small token of appreciation waiting for her in Mrs. Holyoak’s office. 🎉
Thank you, Ms. Kylie, for bringing your energy, kindness, and dedication to Linden—you’re already making a big difference! 👏📚✨
Good morning families!
Just a reminder that while the high school will be on a modified schedule tomorrow, Thursday, December 18, Linden Elementary will have a full, normal school day.
We will be holding our quarterly PBIS assembly in the afternoon, and we would hate for any of our friends to miss it! Thank you for your continued support.

💚 Who loves Grinch Day? We sure do!
If you ask Mrs. Holyoak, Grinch Day might just be her favorite day of all 😉
Yesterday, our students dressed up as the Grinch and enjoyed a day full of Grinch-themed crafts and learning activities. The creativity (and green) was everywhere!
🎄 Stay tuned for our Elf Day shenanigans post — you won’t want to miss it!
🎄✨ What an amazing night! ✨🎄
As always, Mrs. Ryder and our incredible students blew us out of the water with another unforgettable Christmas program! Their hard work, talent, and holiday spirit truly shined on stage. ❤️💫
A huge thank you to our families and community for the constant love and support—we couldn’t do any of this without you! 🎶🎁
We are so grateful to have such an amazing Linden family.

Good morning families,
With sick season upon us, we kindly ask that you do not send cough drops or other medications to school with students. We have had some issues with students sharing cough drops and eating them throughout the day, which causes distractions in the classroom.
Students are more than welcome to visit our health tech if they need a cough drop during the day. If your student requires a specific type of medication, it will need to be signed into the office.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you!

Good afternoon Linden Families,
We know times are tough right now, and we want to remind everyone to please fill out the Free and Reduced Lunch application. If you have already submitted an application but your circumstances have changed, please complete a new one.
If you are unsure whether you have filled out an application, or if you would like to know whether you have been approved, please email Mrs. Holyoak and she will be happy to look into it for you.
Our school is at risk of losing vital funding if we do not meet a certain percentage of completed applications. Even if your student does not eat school lunch, we kindly ask that you still apply to help support our school.
Thank you for your continued support!

Dear Families,
North County Health will be visiting our school to provide a free and completely optional dental screening for our students.
All students will participate in a short lesson on how to properly brush their teeth and will receive a goody bag to take home.
If you would like your child to receive the free dental screening, please return the form with the “YES” to the oral screening box checked.
If you prefer for your child not to receive the fluoride treatment, that’s completely fine—just check the “No Fluoride” box on the form.
Even if you choose not to participate, please return the form with the “No” boxes checked.
⭐ The class that returns the most forms will receive a special treat provided by North County Health! ⭐
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your support in helping us promote healthy smiles!
Warmly,
Desirae Holyoak
