The Linden School

Community Day 2026 was so much fun! Students and teachers had a blast bouncing, balancing, jumping into foam pits, and shooting hoops at SkyZone. ⚡️ Many laughs were shared before summer officially begins…but not until after tomorrow’s Celebration to Greet the Summer! See you there, Linden! 💜

This summer weather has been such a treat for our Physical Education students! Recently, they have been giving softball a try. Thank you, Linden Nation, for always being eager to try new things! 👟⚾️

This year’s Linden Literary Journal, which has been carefully and creatively edited by the Grade 12 Writer’s Craft class, is finally available for purchase! ✨

Linden’s students of all ages have poured so much insight, creative thinking, and artistry into these pages. Check it out for yourself! 📖

You can purchase a copy at this link: https://lindenschool.jotform.com/261513931922859, or by bringing $10 cash to Community Day.

Happy perusing! 📓

Grade 8 students raised and released butterflies as part of their biology unit. 🐛

We hope our friends flutter by the school to say ‘hi’ again sometime! 🦋🦋🦋

We celebrated our young athletes at our annual Athletics Assembly earlier this week! 🏅 Everyone was so proud…just check out these bright smiles and high fives!

Please join us in congratulating our Grade 3-4 athletes on their outstanding effort at their track and field meet!

They challenged themselves and supported their peers after a spring of learning new athletic skills. 🏅

Way to go, Linden Nation! 💜👟

On Friday, the Early Learners capped off their year of Outdoor Education with a visit to the Toronto Islands to meet Lake Ontario! From the Humber River and Yellow Creek to Grenadier Pond and now Lake Ontario, students have learned from the Land and Water by building relationships grounded in respect, gratitude, and reciprocity. These experiences have deepened the students’ appreciation for the waters that connect our city and the joy, wonder, and responsibility that come with caring for the places that sustain us.

This week, Linden students and teachers went to the polls! 🗳️

The Grade 5-6 class designed and implemented fantastic election campaigns, complete with speeches, about three original political ‘parties’ with different goals. Platforms included one devoted to creativity, another focused on school cleanliness, and even one that used the colour pink to represent inclusivity. 🩷🌈

Well done, Linden! We hope this simulation made you all excited about voting!

The Grade 3-4 class have been learning so much from the Land on their recent Outdoor Education outings. Recently, they’ve taken risks in tree climbing, whittling, and have even made lemonade together! 🍋

Last week, Beth was invited to watch one of her former 6th-grade Science students present her work on the chemistry of crystals at the Canadian Societies for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Conference. Toni Spilfogel, class of 2018, is currently a PhD student at the University of Birmingham. Her presentation was entitled "Stoichiometry–Structure Relationships in C–I···π Halogen-Bonded Cocrystals of Derivatized Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons". 🌟

🗯️ About the presentation, Beth said the following:

“Although it went largely over my head, I was thrilled to see the confident and knowledgeable way in which Toni described her research and findings. Toni and I caught up afterward and she shared that she is excited to visit Linden in the future and talk about her work with students.”
