We have a motto at Lindbergh Elementary – “WE ARE LINDBERGH.” Our school is a place where educators and students work together with our community to ignite the joy of learning. We want our curriculum to be relevant to the students, and we frequently nd ways to give them real world experiences that spill over into other aspects of their lives.
Our community garden, which provides teachers a tool to talk about the lifecycle of plants, becomes a family project as students get to take home ingredients to make their own salsa. Skills learned in math and science culminate in an end-of-year camping trip in which 6th graders get to put their knowledge into action as they make measurements to set up camp.
Mission
Lindbergh Elementary will provide a safe and supportive learning community where all Eagles succeed. We will LEAD through: Learning Together; Engaging, Encouraging, and Excelling; Achieving Always; Discovering our Potential.
High academic growth
Lindbergh is a Top Ten Elementary School in TPS for reading and math proficiency growth. Our teachers are committed to providing students with grade-level instruction, no matter their level. If a student seems to be falling behind, rather than adjusting the student's daily instruction, teachers conduct a daily intervention in which the student can work to develop the specific skills needed. As a result, students feel engaged in the curriculum and challenged to meet their goals.
Language Support
Families value the opportunities to engage with Lindbergh Elementary, and we never want language to be a barrier. Bilingual staff as well as our Culture and Community Committee ensure Spanish-speaking families feel connected through translated newsletters, emails and letters in addition to being on call to answer any questions.
History
Lindbergh Elementary was named in 1956 in honor of Charles Lindbergh.
Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974) was raised on a farm by a congressman and a lawyer. Before he left school to pursue aviation, he studied mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan. He became a daredevil pilot and performed at events like fairs. He was an officer in the Air Corps Reserve, and served in World War II despite disagreeing with the war. Lindbergh flew the first solo transatlantic flight on May 21, 1927. He flew the Spirit of St. Louis, from Nebraska to Paris when he was only 25 years old. He was also an environmentalist.
In addition to his accomplishments in aviation, Lindbergh wrote many books, including We, his bestselling autobiography about his flight. Lindbergh also invented a medical device that eventually led to the creation of the heart-lung machine.
Lindbergh demonstrated the community value of excellence, evidenced by the hard work he put in to become an exceptional pilot.

Leadership
Dear Lindbergh Community,
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter to you as the principal of Lindbergh Elementary School. It is truly an honor to be part of the Lindbergh family and community. It is a unique and special place.
Before becoming the principal at Lindbergh, I spent seven years teaching social studies and pulled out language arts skills at the middle and high school level. I have also served as the assistant principal at Nathan Hale High School in the Tulsa Public Schools.
I believe wholeheartedly that every student deserves a quality education and that only happens when the school and the families work together for the best interests of our children. With that in mind I will be calling on all of our faculty, staff, and parents to work as a singular unit so we can best serve our children.
I am truly honored to be given this opportunity and look forward to immersing myself completely in our school and in our community. I believe my main responsibility is to put our teachers in the best possible position to succeed, as they will in turn put our children in the best possible position to succeed. I look forward to meeting all of you and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share.
Best Regards,
James Isaacs
