Lincoln Weekend Update, February 16, 2024
Lincoln Community,
We hope this message finds all of you well!
Lincoln is fortunate to be able to offer students a wide variety of experiences and we are proud to highlight our students' talents! Several of our students have recently had their artwork displayed at the District 214 ART EXPO. Take a look at these outstanding pieces of artwork created in Mr. Moroney's art classes. The work is quite impressive.
We are also pleased to announce that this weekend both of our Lego Robotics teams will compete at the state level! The commitment of parents and staff to support these students in their robotic endeavors is as outstanding as the success the teams enjoy. We wish these teams the best of luck this weekend!
In Partnership,
Eric Larson, Laena DiVito, Jason Jonas
