Lincoln Weekend Update, January 21, 2024
Lincoln Community,
It has been an interesting week, and we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding during the snow and cold days. Despite the challenges, we want to express our gratitude to our custodial staff. They braved the cold to clear snow and maintain operational buildings, ensuring our students and staff could return to school. Our custodians have done an amazing job and deserve recognition and praise. Thank you all for your hard work this past week!
Below are our updates for the week. We hope everyone is having an enjoyable and safe weekend, and we look forward to seeing the Lions on Monday.
In Partnership,
Eric Larson, Laena DiVito, Jason Jonas

Portrait of a Graduate
As we continue our Portrait of a Graduate work, students did an activity around the concept of being collaborative in their Advisory class on Thursday, January 18. The activity was designed to help students think about what being collaborative looks, sounds, and feels like so they might further their understanding and be able to implement it in their daily work at school. (Pictured below is Mrs. Rapacz's class during the activity.)
8th Grade Graduation Date
Despite the cold weather day/snow days, the 8th-grade graduation date remains unchanged. Graduation is still scheduled for Tuesday, May 28, at 7:00 pm at Prospect High School. Stay tuned for more information regarding end-of-year details for 8th-grade.
