District Announces 2021 Lindbergh Leaders
March 1, 2021
Lindbergh Schools invites the community to celebrate this year’s class of Lindbergh Leaders, during a virtual banquet on April 9. Lindbergh Leaders are nominated by their fellow community members for their leadership and service at Lindbergh Schools and in the community, and this year’s group of honorees are receiving special accolades for their contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year’s event will also honor the 2020 Lindbergh Leaders, who were unable to be recognized last spring, in addition to 2019 and 2020 district Teachers of the Year and Support Staff Employees of the Year.
The 2021 Lindbergh Leaders virtual event will be broadcast live on the Lindbergh Schools YouTube channel at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 9. Royale Orleans is offering family meals for the event, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Lindbergh Schools Foundation. For more information, please visit go.lindberghschools.ws/leaders.
