What happens outside of school hours?
Have you ever wondered what goes on at Lincoln School after hours? On Thursday evening, Lincoln students had the opportunity to participate in the Science Olympiad! It was great to see so many children learning about science. This is a great connection to the introduction to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) that will implemented next school year. I would like to thank all of the parent volunteers and Mr. Brad Appelhans for organizing this wonderful event.
Boy Scout Pack 73 hosted the Pinewood Derby last weekend. Scout members were given the task of building their very own race car and entering it in the derby. Family members were also invited to build cars and compete in the open division. Congratulations to everyone that participated in this year's Pinewood Derby!
Volunteer chefs were busy flipping pancakes and frying sausage links at the PTA Pancake Breakfast on January 23rd. Lincoln families flocked to the school to sit down with friends and enjoy a great meal. Thank you to the PTA for hosting this family event!
