A note from Mrs. Creech!

If your child has not done so yet, all 4th and 5th Graders need to bring their recorders to school by Monday, October 10.  If you need to purchase a new recorder, we have them for $5.  (Cash or Checks payable to Lindbergh Schools.)

This Sunday, Oct. 9, is Sunday Night Lights!  If your child is participating, meet me inside the fence on the LHS football field at 6:15 p.m.  Pre-game festivities start at 6:30, and we will sing the "National Anthem" at 6:45, watch the Heroes play the first half from the on-the-field bleachers, sing "Fight Song" during the half-time show, and head back to the on-the-field bleachers (North End) to meet parents.  4th & 5th Graders should then join their families in the stands for the second half of the game.  The event ends at 8:00 p.m.

For details, please, read the note below that was sent home last week:

Dear Concord  4th and 5th Grade Parents,

On Sunday, October 9th,  you and your 4th or 5th grader have been invited to participate in a special all-district event, held at Lindbergh High School, to raise awareness of childhood cancer.  Sunday Night Lights is a Community Service opportunity which recreates a high school football game experience and helps honor the dreams of kids who are battling cancer and other serious childhood illnesses.  One of the hidden wounds a child with cancer or other serious childhood illness deals with is isolation-- from friends, school, and all the activities in which they can no longer participate.  Sunday Night Lights is a one-of-a-kind event which lets the kids, if just for an evening, feel normal.

All interested Concord Flyers will join the other Lindbergh 4th and 5th Graders to perform in the pre-game and half-time shows during this event.  The schedule for our elementary singers is as follows:

• 6:15    Meet on the LHS Football Field, inside the fence across from the concession stand.
• 6:30    Sit on the field for opening ceremony.
• 6:45    Perform National Anthem with the LHS Marching Band.
• 7:00    Game begins--sit in bleachers on the north side of the field, waiting for next show.
• 7:30    Sing “Fight Song” as part of the half-time performances.
• 7:45    Students are released to their parents by the on the field bleachers (north side of the field).  They can enjoy the rest of the game with their families in the stands.

Sunday Night Lights is scheduled to be finished by 8:00 p.m.  We would love to have and need your support to fill the stands.

Please, let me know if your child will be able to participate:  vcreech@lindberghschools.ws, (314) 729-2400 x3737, or (314) 620-7849 cell.  Please, list your child’s name; teacher’s name; and contact parent’s name, cell phone number, and email address.  Fifth Graders who were in choir last year may wear their yellow Sunday Night Lights t-shirts.  (Any Fourth Grader who has a Sunday Night Lights Shirt from an older sibling may also wear that shirt.)  All other 4th or 5th graders should wear any Concord shirts.  I have yellow SNL bandannas for everyone to wear to make us uniform. All participants will receive 2 hours of service credit for their participation.

Thanks so much for your help!
