Join us Friday, January 10, 2025 for Lindblom Night at the Chicago Bulls. $10 from each ticket sale will go towards athletics and student enrichment activities. Tickets start at just $42 per person through the Lindblom link, and all attendees will be able to enter pre-game to watch team warm up and receive Chicago Bulls merch.

Need additional incentives? When you (and your family and friends) purchase

tickets, indicate which class you are supporting, from the Class of 2025 all the way to the Class of 2030 (we see you, 7th Grade!) The students from the class with the most sales will be entered into a raffle for additional on-court incentives at the game.

Tickets are selling fast, so make sure you purchase yours as soon as possible. And remember, they make great holiday gifts. https://fevo-enterprise.com/event/Lindblommath2.

See you there in your Lindblom gear!

Kudos to our Senior Executive Board and SVC for putting together a spectacular Spirit Week! They had a really good turn out for movie night, also. Shout-outs to LMSA Ambassadors! LMSA Ambassadors Colloquium made their way around the school spreading holiday cheer. This consisted of a group of festive ambassadors going to Flexes around the school and dropping off an encouraging note and a candy cane to students. Their goal was to support the AC/freshman students and build greater school community in anticipation for Finals Week. This was super dope!!!

Students can be dropped off or picked up on Wolcott and Winchester. Double Parking is prohibited! Please be considerate of the handicap ramps on Winchester and DO NOT park in front of the ramp. There is Safe Passage surrounding the perimeter of Lindblom and we'd like to enforce a "Kiss and Go" to avoid traffic back-ups; therefore, consider use of alternate blocks (like Damen, 61st Street, etc) for ease of traffic.

Students may enter the building through Door 3 (on Wolcott) or Door 9 (on Winchester). Please be mindful that these are the only doors that students should exit during/after dismissal.

The garden colloquium is looking for a couple of parent volunteers on colloquium days during the second semester to help with garden and greenhouse activities. If you are interested in volunteering for a single day or multiple, the help would be greatly appreciated! All experience levels are welcome.

• Dates are: Feb 5, 12, March: 5, 12, 19, April: 9, 23, 30, May: 7, 14, 21
• During AM or PM colloquium

If you are interested, please email both Ms. Maxwell (klmaxwell@cps.edu) and Mx. Dirr (sdirr@cps.edu).

Struggling with a subject? Come to the writing center during lunches on a regular class day. We have peer tutors for every subject. Make sure to get help before final exams.

On December 11th and 12th, we will have a representative from the City Colleges of Chicago in room 313 to assist students in registering for spring semester dual enrollment (DE) classes.

Currently Enrolled Students: All students currently enrolled in a DE class that takes place during the school day must register for a second-semester class that meets at the same time. Failure to register will result in an F on your transcript for the second semester.

New Enrollees: New enrollees for the spring semester can only take classes after school or on weekends. We are working on securing a 3rd date for our CCC rep to come into the building and we will communicate that once it is confirmed.

Science Opportunities for Students

Starting second semester, students with an unweighted GPA of 3.0 after 7 semesters can qualify for college-ready coursework without having to take a placement exam or have the requisite SAT score. Please consider if you have students who can take advantage of this increased opportunity to participate in early college coursework and if this new qualifier would make additional spring dual credit coursework more feasible.
