The Lincoln Lightning
"Your SPARK of information!"
August 27th, 2021
This year, in an attempt to streamline communications, I will be sending a weekly newsletter out every Friday by 5:00pm. In this newsletter, I will have a link to all District Updates for Families (that were previously sent separately), and starting next week, I will have links to the weekly newsletters from each grade level.
Here you will find a summary of all the logistical information you need to know as we begin this school year. Teachers will be sharing details specific to grade levels next week at our virtual parent information sessions. Please review and let me know if you have any questions.
See you all soon!

Lincoln's Fall BBQ
Hi everyone, as the end of the school year approaches, we wanted to let you know about an exciting event that will occur at the beginning of next school year. Yes, the Lincoln BBQ will return! It will be held on Friday, September 17, 2021 from approximately 5 pm to 7 pm on the school grounds. It will be a great time to get reacquainted with each other at the beginning of the school year, and enjoy our new school. The Tosa East marching band has already committed to attending, and of course we will have delicious food prepared by the dads of Lincoln. Thank you to the Lincoln PTO for sponsoring this great event.
If any dads would like to volunteer, please contact me at bfoley8142@gmail.com or 414-477-9132.
Thanks!
Brad Foley
Dad of Jacob, 5th grade
