I am so excited to be working at Lindbergh Elementary School and for Columbus City Schools! Lindbergh Elementary School proudly serves approximately 300 PreK-5 grade students and families in the Hilltop in Columbus, Ohio. Our vision at Lindbergh is to “Empower every student to be a kind and thoughtful lifelong learner”. I believe this with my whole heart! I believe it is our job, as educators, to prepare children academically as well as socially and emotionally for tomorrow. I believe that EVERY CHILD can learn and be successful when given the right opportunity. I believe that when parents come alongside their child’s school, there is no end to what students can accomplish. Whether you are a current Lindbergh parent or you are considering Lindbergh as a school for your child, you will find that we are a great place where children learn and grow! We have high expectations of our students academically, as well as behaviorally. Our school motto is: “Be Respectful, Responsible, Safe, Kind, and Ready to Learn”. We recognize students monthly as a “Cub of the Month” who have demonstrated a variety of character traits, such as being Respectful, Responsible, Self-Disciplined and more! We have family events; Pastries with Parents, Carnival Literacy Night, Space Math Night, and a Prince/Princess Ball! As the principal, I want you to know that we take our mission very seriously: “100% of Lindbergh students will read at or above grade level!”. Won’t you come alongside us to encourage and cheer on your children to become the very best they can! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at school. Here’s to a great year!
