Linwood Elementary is a progressive and proud school. We are honored to have the opportunity to serve the children of the men and women who have sworn to protect and defend our country. Students and staff members of Linwood stand straight and proud when the National Anthem echoes throughout our school each morning. We understand first hand the sacrifice military members and their families make every day. The Linwood staff understands that the life of a military family can be grueling and unpredictable.
Every teacher has students who have a mother or father serving our country in far off places.
In single parent homes, grandparents and other family members are relied upon to be the surrogate parent until mom or dad can make it back home. Many of our staff members gave up a weekend and arranged for weary adults to drop off all their children at our school. The children were met at the door and the parents were told to disappear for the day. The smile and relief on the face of the parents that morning confirmed that this was a worthwhile project. The children read their favorite books with staff members, played games and watched a movie that Saturday.
