Lincoln Middle School Weekend Update
Lincoln has nearly 300 participants in its performing arts programs. Ms. Prodan, Ms. Thomas, and Mr. Acuña along with their students, devote a tremendous amount of time, talent, and energy to enhancing our students' middle school experience through performing arts. I thoroughly enjoyed the band, orchestra, and choral winter concerts this week and believe many Lincoln families did as well. Congratulations and thank you to our performers and directors for great shows and for helping us cheerfully welcome our winter break! Below you will find a video of a song sung by one of our choirs.
Speaking of winter break, school is in session next week through Thursday. Friday, December 23, is the first day of winter break and classes resume on Monday, January 9. The building is closed during winter break. We will remind students throughout next week to clean out their lockers and to be sure to bring home items from their lockers that they may need during the break.
Thank you for spending a few moments each week to browse this newsletter and stay in the loop of all that is happening at Lincoln
Sincerely,
Eric Larson, Principal
