Last Tuesday, our Lynhaven students and staff celebrated the International Day of Peace by making our Pinwheels For Peace. Students wrote wishes of peace for themselves or friends on the pinwheels and planted them in the grass by the front of school marquee. When the wind blows and the pinwheel spins, the wishes are sent out into the world to help bring peace. We hope you enjoyed watching and listening to them spin at dismissal and drop-off.

Dear Lynhaven Families,
It is with very mixed emotions that I'm writing this. I want to share with you all that I have accepted a position at the Santa Clara County Office of Education and will be leaving my role as the Principal of Lynhaven. The timeline is dependent upon our finding a new Principal and there will be input meetings for the community and our staff which will be facilitated by our Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, Lena Bundtzen. The date is to be determined.
This was not an easy decision as I've been at Lynhaven for 10 years and started here as a Kindergarten teacher, became the Assistant Principal the next year, and the Principal the following year. I want to say thank you to the families who have been here through my time as Principal and to those who we've recently welcomed. Lynhaven will always be a special place to me and I'm grateful that I was a part of your children's lives. Once again, thank you!
Please see the attached letter below.

Do you have a student in grades 3rd-5th and would like for them to have some extra homework help or tutoring after school? I am excited to be partnering with FEV Tutor to provide FREE virtual tutoring to your child if you find it helpful.
If tutoring is not something you need, they also offer drop-in homework help. This is a program that is paid for through our school site and is open to students in grades 3-5. Because it is virtual, you must have a device at home (iPad, tablet, laptop, phone) that can access the internet.
If your child attends our after school Campbell Care program, they can access the homework help or tutoring through the use of the chromebooks that we have there. Please see below for more information!
