Lincoln Weekend Update, March 23, 2024
Lincoln Community,
We hope this message finds you well and enjoying the very beginning of a well-deserved spring break. Before we depart for our break, we wanted to take a moment to extend my heartfelt congratulations to everyone who participated in yesterday's student-staff volleyball game.
The game was nothing short of exceptional, characterized by spirited competition, outstanding sportsmanship, and a remarkable display of teamwork from both sides. It was truly a joy to witness our students and staff come together in such a positive and energetic manner. In the end, it was a close match, with the staff narrowly clinching the victory.
As we head into spring break, we encourage each of you to take this time to relax, recharge, and enjoy quality time with your family. Whether you're embarking on an adventure or simply taking it easy at home, we hope this break brings you joy and restoration.
Please remember that school will resume on Tuesday, April 2nd.
Once again, congratulations to everyone involved in the volleyball game, and here's to a wonderful spring break ahead!
In Partnership,
Eric Larson, Laena DiVito, Jason Jonas
