The Lincoln Lightning
"Your SPARK of information!"
February 18th, 2022
Dear Lincoln Families,
I love February! There are so many great things about this month that make it so special. February is the month of love and February is a time for magical learning in the classroom when our students begin to hit their stride and find their SPARKS!
Have a wonderful weekend! I'm still hoping for some more snow. Who's with me? :)
Be well,
Michelle Miner, Ed.D
Principal, Lincoln Elementary

UPDATED: Provide Feedback on the District’s ESSER Funding Proposal
At this week’s School Board meeting, Dr. Demond Means presented the District’s ESSER Funding Proposal, which serves as a menu of options for the School Board and our stakeholders to respond to publicly. You can view a recording of the Board Meeting here, and you can review the presentation in PDF format here. The District understands that the funds available will not cover all of the initiatives outlined in the proposal. Therefore, we must gather feedback to understand our community’s areas of priority.
All stakeholders are encouraged to provide feedback at an upcoming ESSER III Engagement Meeting:
DATE CHANGED: Tuesday, February 22 at 6 pm - Longfellow Middle School Library
Wednesday, February 23 at 6 pm - Wauwatosa West High School Steiner Center
Thursday, February 24 at 6 pm - Whitman Middle School Library
If you are unable to attend one of these meetings, you may provide feedback via a brief survey. Please be sure to review the ESSER Funding Proposal in its entirety and then complete the survey.
Additional information regarding ESSER funding can be found here.
