In a heartwarming celebration that highlighted the spirit of unity and generosity within the Lindbergh community, Truman Middle School emerged as the proud victor of the 2023 Flyer Family Fund Champions. The event, held on a bright Tuesday morning, April 18, was a joyous occasion that recognized Truman Middle School's outstanding dedication to supporting the Lindbergh Schools Foundation.

The festivities kicked off with a delicious breakfast served to the dedicated staff at Truman. Foundation board members, Dr. Tony Lake, Lindbergh Schools Superintendent, and members of his cabinet joined in the celebration, further emphasizing the district-wide appreciation for Truman's remarkable achievement.

Truman Middle School earned the prestigious title of 2023 Flyer Family Fund Champions for not one, but two compelling reasons. First, they demonstrated the most significant increase in staff participation compared to the previous year, illustrating their unwavering commitment to the Foundation's cause. Second, Truman achieved the highest overall percentage of staff participation in the Flyer Family Fund.

To put Truman's remarkable accomplishment into perspective, an impressive 55% of their staff actively participates in the Flyer Family Fund payroll deduction program. This is a testament to the dedication and enthusiasm of Truman's educators and staff for supporting the Foundation's initiatives.

The district-wide participation rate, while commendable, stands at 35%, with a total of 306 staff members generously contributing to the Foundation with every pay period. Collectively, these contributions are projected to raise approximately $13,500 this year, a significant boon to the Foundation's mission of enhancing educational opportunities within the Lindbergh community.

The Lindbergh Schools Foundation extends its heartfelt gratitude to all the participants in the Flyer Family Fund program. Your support makes a profound impact on the educational experiences of Lindbergh students, and your commitment to the Foundation's mission is truly commendable.

A resounding congratulations goes out to Truman Middle School for their exceptional dedication and achievement as the 2023 Flyer Family Fund Champions. Your outstanding efforts exemplify the spirit of generosity and community that sets Lindbergh Schools apart. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the betterment of our schools and the future of our students.
