Dear Linden Street Scholars and Families,

It is hard to believe it is already December and that I have been part of this community of learners for almost two months! I truly love my new venture in Plainville and I am impressed by our culture, climate, and dedication to our children. Parents' work at home and in collaboration with our school staff makes such a difference. Just the values that education is important, effort is essential, and good choices/respectful behavior support success.

Scholars are students who exhibit the qualities of effort, participation, trying, taking risks, learning from mistakes, and asking for help. Students just show up. I believe all our children to be scholars at Linden Street School! In addition, our scholars show Lindy CARES each day. The warm hellos, positive energy, generosity and thoughtful gestures are just a few examples of what I see each day! 

I would like to thank you sincerely for your warm welcome. It has been wonderful to meet so many of you at conferences, in the hallways at dismissal and at the meet/greet. Despite starting October 24th, I feel a connection to the children. We have been getting to know each other; I have been going class by class to hear what each child loves as well as hopes and dreams. My hope and dream is to be the best principal I can be; making sure your scholars come first and Linden Street School remains a great place to learn and grow!

Ask your child about our fun facts each morning....do you know what can be made out of peanut butter? 

I will end my first message with what I end announcements with each day:

                                       "Make it a great learning day or not scholars, the choice is always yours!"

Respectfully Submitted by Principal Eshoo on the 8th day of December, 2011.
