Lindy Middle School Teachers Send a Message!

Teachers find a fun way to give their students advice for the Middle School Years!

In keeping with this years National Red Ribbon Campaign, social workers Ancy Paulouse and Melissa Levy of the Lindenhurst Middle School asked their colleagues what advice they wish they could give their middle school selves. Lindy Middle School Teachers were happy to respond with messages printed in fun "bubbles" that decorate the halls for all students to see.
