Did you know that you can help the Lindstrom PTA get donations from shopping, like you normally do, at Ralph’s and Amazon? It’s as simple as a few clicks, and you can help us just by shopping like you normally do.

Here’s how:

Ralph’s:

Go to https://www.ralphs.com and login with your rewards account. Go to your account summary. At the bottom of the page it says “Community Rewards”. Click on “enroll”. This will take you to another page where you will type “Esther Lindstrom” in the search box and hit search. You will see the PTA come up as a selection. Make sure it’s selected and then click on “enroll” and you are done. Every time you use your rewards card at Ralph’s, you are helping the PTA!!

Amazon:

Go to https://smile.amazon.com/ and login with your Amazon account. Go to “Your Account” and then scroll down to “Amazon Smile”. On this page you will select your charity. Search for Esther Lindstrom and you will find the Esther Lindstrom PTA. Select that as your charity and you are done!! Be sure when you shop at Amazon, you are going to https://smile.amazon.com/ It’s a good idea to make this your Amazon bookmark. If you shop at http://amazon.com the PTA does not get the donations.

Every little bit helps!! Thank you everyone for supporting the Lindstrom PTA!!

Today, we kicked off another year of the #TrashFreeLunchChallenge with Grades of Green! Last year, Lindstrom came in 2nd place and won a $750 grant.  Here is a great flyer on how to pack a trash free lunch for your student.  #PTA4Kids #Greenschool #GradesofGreen

We have something new going on this year at Lindstrom!!! A brand new newsletter!! Please take a look!!

September 2017 PTA Newsletter

As most of you probably know, we are trying to be more “green” with our trash at Lindstrom. And, we are just about the ONLY school in the district that is doing this. We are encouraging the kids to sort trash at lunchtime and to be more “green” with their choices when packing lunch. So, ask your child about this effort and please encourage them to keep on doing their part!! This helps not only the environment, but also our school as we save money on trash bags!! Every little bit counts!!

A HUGE Thank You to everyone !! Together, we can make for a cleaner planet.

Have you been saving your boxtops? GOOD, because we are currently having a Box Top Contest at Lindstrom!!!! This is an INDIVIDUAL contest, NOT a classroom contest. So, please help out our AMAZING school and bring in your boxtops THIS WEEK!!!!!

Breakfast with Dads is coming on February 23rd!!

There is a book club coming to Lindstrom!! Every Tuesday February 7th through April 4th, please join us in the cafeteria from 1:45pm through 3:15pm to read books with your children!! Please see the flyer below for more information.

Cerritos College is offering Parent Workshops at Lindstrom Elementary in the coming weeks. Please see the flyer below for class dates and times!! Reminders will be coming on Facebook as the dates get closer.
