Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to showcase picture books that celebrate the diversity of our country. These multicultural picture books for kids demonstrate how Thanksgiving is not all about Pilgrims and football!

A very special "Thank you" goes out to the following people for our Veterans Day Celebration:

• Parent Volunteers: Leigh Nieman and all who helped to decorate

• Photographer: Leslie Weiss, Emily Cook, Kristie Deeter, and media leaders

• Keutzer 2nd Grade & Turek's 5th Grade for decorations

I also want to thank the Leader in Me committee for their work to prepare for the new format of our assembly and for planning the buddy activity around kindness.

Difficulties can arise at anytime for families, but this can be especially true and emotionally challenging during the holidays. Although our elementary schools are able to offer some support to their families through programs of their own, it is far more difficult to find resources at the Middle School and High School level. Often, our community is willing to help, but not sure where to start or how funds will be spent.

As an initiative by Lindbergh Schools, in partnership with our District Social Workers, we would like to offer a wonderful opportunity for our community to give a helping hand at the holidays that will impact families district wide.

All funds collected will be divided as evenly as possible among the families, and will go towards crediting Ameren Missouri accounts. Our goal is to simply provide some much needed relief to these families. The gift of a warm home is a great way to do that!

Please use the link provided: http://bit.ly/LindberghLightsTheWay. No amount is too small and every donation is appreciated.Sperreng Middle School will handle the collection this year. We will incur PayPal fees, but they will be minimal, and outside of that, 100% of funds collected will go to our Lindbergh families.

We thank you for your support. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email Jennifer Abercrombie at: cjabercrombie@sbcglobal.net

Angie and Liz will be out Tuesday and Wednesday along with several members from the PD committee. We will be visiting 2 schools in Kansas City along with the STEAM studio. This trip was made possible through a grant from ITEF.

Angie will be out Friday in the p.m. @Moore for Principal Mtg.

Our Mission: At Concord Elementary, we empower our community through the heart, mind, and body.
