July: Honesty Speaking and acting with truthfulness in all situations. Lindbergh High School Lindbergh High School is a Missouri School of Character. On April 7th Lindbergh HS has been selected as a feature school on the annual Characterplus Field Trip to visit exemplary schools. 45 educators representing schools from across Missouri and Illinois will be welcomed to the LHS campus. Great Character in Sportsmanship: A Rockwood Summit fan recently shared the following example of Lindbergh Character through Sportsmanship with Mary Jane Driscoll. According to Mary Jane the call came from a Rockwood fan who had a grandson in the Rockwood Summit marching band but she called to talk about the Lindbergh marching band. After the performance of the Rockwood Summit band, the entire Lindbergh band stood up and gave them a standing ovation. She said that it was one of the classiest gestures she's ever seen. Everyone was talking about it. It was a real class act. In another great demonstration of character, a student in our LHS Character Council suggested inviting our opponents to participate in Canned Goods for Character at all football games. Friday November 6th, 2009 Two neighboring National Schools of Character collected hundreds of cans to help food pantries in their districts. Congratulations to Fox and Lindbergh High Schools for redefining excellence in sportsmanship! Congratulations to 2009 Promising Practice Recipients! On October 31st the 2009 Promising Practice Recipients were recognized in Washington DC.

The designation of Missouri School of character is earned following an extensive application process followed by a visit from educators on the board of the Missouri School of Character Program. Visitors have an opportunity to meet and talk with members of the Board, staff, students, parents, and community members. They also observe classrooms, meetings and buddy activities throughout the District. Their glowing reports on Lindbergh's Character Education Program and the outstanding applications submitted by our schools reflects the outstanding results possible when schools, their district, and community have a commitment to graduate citizens of character. An example of our district's score sheet showing Lindbergh receiving a 3.9 out of a possible 4.0, can be viewed by clicking here. After recognition as a Missouri School of Character schools and districts may further apply to be named as one of only 10 Schools of Character chosen annually. The National Character Education Partnership sends visitors from the CEP Selection Panel in the spring each year to Missouri Schools of Character. Sappington Elementary School's Character Education Team, under the leadership of Mrs. Kaye Rueschhoff, submitted an application to the Missouri Schools of Character Program in early December.
