2025 Variety Show

On Friday, April 11th Lindbergh 3rd, 4th and 5th graders amazed a full audience of students, family, staff and community members with their fantastic talents! Whether the students performed, helped with the stage crew or performed as part of the music club, we want to acknowledge the dedication of practicing each week and the guts it takes to get up in front of an auditorium filled with people - they did an incredible job!

A huge thank you to the Dewey family - Anna and Kevin have been a part of the Lindbergh elementary and Lindbergh PTA family for over a decade, and their contributions are immeasurable. For the Variety Show each year, they put in countless hours helping our upper elementary children thrive and shine in their talents. Throughout this enormous undertaking, they’re always patient and kind to everyone. The Variety Show students have gained confidence and were able to fine tune their talents because of Anna and Kevin’s dedication. 

Thank you to Michelle Linkowski for stepping into the Assistant Director role this year! She was a huge help keeping the kids on track backstage and keeping the show organized. 

Thank you to Ms. Greenia and the Music Club for their performance and support with the Variety Show rehearsal process. 

Thank you to all the Variety Show parents - for helping create signs, decorating the auditorium, donating snacks, and your overall support for your kids in their creative endeavors. 

Finally, a big thank you to Nora Farhat and Shahira Baajour, who decorated and helped arrange this Afterglow. We are so grateful for you jumping in and being amazing!

A message from the event Chairs:

“We are so proud of each and every student who participated in this year’s Variety Show. Everyone worked so hard, whether it was for an individual act onstage, or behind the scenes moving set pieces. Being part of a theater production is something magical. You make great friendships, learn how to work as a team in a unique way, and produce something truly special onstage that unlocks an artistic and creative part of you. We hope the students who participated continue to explore that - and that those who came to support them feel inspired to give it a try!

Kevin and I would like to thank the parents for letting us work with your kids, and for all the behind the scenes driving and support you provided every step of the way. It was amazing to watch your kids' confidence soar. Thanks to everyone for all your donations of rehearsal snacks and desserts for after the performance.

Special thanks to the parents who took on extra roles, especially Michelle Linkowski for her invaluable work with the stage crew! And to all my parent helpers like Paul, Lisa, Lana, Sandra and Amal who helped us juggle so many things that had to happen during rehearsals. A big shout out to Nora and Shahira for the incredible afterglow (reception)!! It was so special. We couldn't have done it without all the teamwork.

Thanks to Ms. Tiba, and all the teachers and staff for your support of the arts!”
