Principal's Message
I want to thank PTO for the thoughtful recognition of our staff during Staff Appreciation Week! It is a privilege to serve the youth of this community and we thank you for your contribution as well. Without the support and cooperation of our parents and guardians, these past months of remote learning could not have been so successful. Working together as a team always benefits students. Thank you for your partnership.
As we close staff appreciation week, please join me in recognizing these Lincoln staff members who have reached a milestone in their careers in District 57. These men and women have been dedicated to the students and families of this community and deserve this small token of recognition. Congratulations!

LINCOLN PTO . . . TO THE CLASS OF 2020
Hello 8th Grade Families
We hope everyone is doing well in this socially distant world we are experiencing. Here’s a quick update on our plans to date:
Baby Picture Video - Thank you all who provided baby pictures and Lincoln memories for the baby picture video. We ended up keeping the google form open a few extra days and it is now officially closed! We will be working on creating the video over the next week.
Graduate Yard Signs - The yard signs have arrived! We are working on a distribution plan and more details will be coming.
Commemorative Gift - We will pass out the commemorative gifts when we distribute the yard signs.
Optional Graduation T-shirts - As a reminder, graduation t-shirts are still being offered on the vendor website until May 15. If you’re looking for a nice way to commemorate this historic time, please take a look at the shirts through the vendor site (https://www.sportsemporium.net/lincoln-middle-school). T-shirt purchase is optional and not funded by the PTO.
Please continue to watch the newsletter for additional plans and updates. If you have any questions, feel free to contact either Robyn McCluskey (gmcclusk@aol.com) or Laura Matuszak (matuszak.laura@gmail.com).
