Dear Parents and Guardians,
We will be collecting goods at Lincoln, and we will kick of this event on November 17th at Farewell Friday when Mrs. Joyce and Mrs. Prebalick's classes will be performing Sharing Is Caring.
Thank you for sending in any number of these canned goods to make it all happen!

Principal
Please Welcome Mrs. Briggs To Lincoln School
One of the changes often experienced is staffing. Our current secretary, Sonya Mateo accepted a new position within the district. With that change, Rebecca Briggs will be joining us at Lincoln School as the new secretary. For those who may not be aware, Rebecca has worked at the middle school and therefore is familiar with the district, and our community. Coming from within the district brings along a familiarity of processes of the district which will be helpful as she learns what is unique to Lincoln School.
From the Nurse
Please send in physicals for your students. All new students, UPK and students in 2nd grade will need a health appraisal turned into the nurse by November 1st . Please send in any new immunizations your child has received. We are fortunate that we stock extra clothing for students who have had spills, or accidents.
Our supplies are diminishing! To keep our clothing supply ample, please return any clothing that your child has borrowed. We also accept any clothing sizes 4 – 12 that your child may have outgrown for our supply!
