Pre-K Prom

Linden’s Pre-K students ended the year in style at their Pre-K Prom! The little ones dressed to the nines, danced, and played during this final school celebration. They even received a special visit from Mayor Derek Armstead. As they say, it takes a village to ensure our students are progressing while embracing their childhoods. We hope everyone had a blast and is looking forward to starting Kindergarten this fall!

Fishing Derby 2026

Linden was hooked on fishing last Saturday afternoon. Residents and families gathered around Wilson Park, baiting hooks and casting lines in honor of Butchie Scoles, a late Linden resident who fished at the pond habitually. There were 4 winners of the afternoon, with the 1st Prize going to Jacob for catching a 13” catfish! It was a fun and relaxing time where even the smallest citizens got to learn something new.
