News and Happenings from Lincoln Elementary School
It's always a great day to be a Tiger!!
The weeks are flying by at Lincoln Elementary School. I can't believe it is already the middle of September. As the temperatures start to get cooler, please remember to dress your child appropriately but still within our school dress code. Sweaters and sweatshirts are allowed as long as they are navy blue, have no logos and don't have a hood on them. Hoodies are not a part of our dress code. We greatly appreciate your help in this.
On a fun note, I want to share how much I enjoy meeting you and your children before and after school at the crosswalks. Thank you for your dedication to your child's education. Those walks to and from school are precious. Enjoy every second of them as they will go by fast.
Have a great week and happy Mexican Independence Day in advance!
