Principal's Message

Hello Lynbrook Families, 

We are so proud of our 3rd-6th grade students this week for demonstrating their literacy skills on the Reading SOL! Next week our 5th grade students will be showcasing their science savvy on the Science SOL Thursday! 

We are so close to meeting our schoolwide SIIP Chronic Absenteeism goal . Please continue to have your child come to school consistently these last few weeks…every single day counts! 

Looking forward to these next 4 and half weeks together as we successfully end another fabulous school year! 

With love and gratitude, 

Kathleen Sain

Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Since its inception in 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month has been a cornerstone of addressing the challenges faced by millions of Americans living with mental health conditions. Throughout the month, NAMI actively participates in this national movement, dedicated to eradicating stigma, extending support, fostering public education and advocating for policies that prioritize the well-being of individuals and families affected by mental illness.
