🎉 Our Linden Elementary Student Council has truly made their mark this year! With the help of our amazing PTO, they were able to bring their vision to life by designing their very own shirts! 👕👏 Made up of dedicated 4th and 5th grade students, our Student Council plays a big role in making Linden a fun place to learn. Under the guidance of their student advisor, Mrs. Podoll, they plan events, choose dress-up days, hand out prizes at our PBIS assemblies, and even sell snacks at our after-school events. We’re so proud of their hard work and leadership! #LindenPride #StudentCouncil #LeadershipInAction #CougarSpirit
