Lincoln Bulletin-
The school has come to a close with today as our last day of remote learning. This week was filled with celebrations, sharing of our learning, and supporting one another.
I wish everyone an enjoyable relaxing summer. I know just like the end of the year, our summer will have a different feel, I plan to take this time to enjoy more of the simple pleasures. Some include taking walks and or bike rides as a family, sitting out bak by our bonfire listening to music, playing bags, fishing, and I also plan to golf again. This summer will be much less hectic and I want to cherish my family time. I hope you do too--wishing everyone a healthy safe summer. Until next fall, take care.
As you may already know I will be working all summer either remotely or at Lincoln, please feel free to email or call if you have any questions.

Dig Deeper! Read, Investigate and Discover with Your Library
Summer Reading is almost here!
The St. Charles Public Library District invites kids to read a little bit every day to keep up their reading skills outside of the school year. They can pick up a book in any format- print or digital, and they can read or be read to. If a kid reads 20 minutes each weekday for the ten weeks of the program, he or she will reach 1000 minutes by August 2nd!
Starting May 26th, visit our website or scpld.readsquared.com to sign up and start logging minutes online. Kids receive a virtual badge for every 100 minutes logged! Complete an online mission each week and earn additional minutes.
At 1000 minutes, kids are eligible for a book prize and an entry in our Grand Prize Drawing. There will be five gift baskets in the drawing- each focused on a different area: Reading, Science, Art, Video Games, and Legos.
For a short movie highlighting the program, visit our Youtube channel.
Additionally, we are excited to announce that the St. Charles Public Library will be offering library cards to all District 303 students! Every student who attends a District 303 school will be eligible to get their own library card. Parents will opt in for a student card when they do online registration. Please note that only students will be able to get a library card. Parents, or other family members who do not attend school are ineligible to receive a card.
A library card will give you access to all our ebooks and eresources while our public space is closed. You can access all the information on what we have available at scpld.org/ebooks.
We are so excited to offer this invaluable resource to our students at District 303. If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Stulgate, 630-549-8971.
