STUDENT COUNCIL HOSTS THE WINTER DANCE TONIGHT! 6-7:30PM
Mr. Suminski's Message
Lincoln Families,
Tonight is Lincoln Student Council's Winter Dance. All grade levels are invited. Tickets are available at the door! Come on in out of the cold to Lincoln's Winter Wonderland and have some fun.
In between coughing in my sleeve and washing and re-washing my hands, I want to take a moment to recognize Mrs. Susie Smith, our school nurse, along with our custodial staff. Their preventative care to ward off flu germs is working! Our attendance numbers are within the norm for this time of year. I also want to thank parents who have kept their children home when they are under the weather. Everyone's efforts help to keep Lincoln healthy!
Thank you all for taking a few minutes of your week to scroll through this newsletter and follow District 57 social media communications. Keeping yourself informed is helpful to stay on track with all that's happening at Lincoln.
Enjoy the Super Bowl!
Paul Suminski

Life Begins: Grade 6 - February 4, 2020
Life Begins teaches reproductive science, beginning with the development of the reproductive organs and continuing through fertilization, implantation, gestation and delivery. The learning environment is comfortable and interactive, inviting relevant conversation and providing a useful supplement to school human development curriculum. The program’s highly visual presentations bring vivid detail to the miracle of embryology.
Program Goals: Students will…
· Increase knowledge about human anatomy and the reproductive system, reproduction, pregnancy and birth.
· Increase their comfort in discussing the reproductive topics.
Social Emotional Learning: Grade 7
· Social Emotional Learning topics are covered throughout the school year in Advisory and Health curriculum. There is no Robert Crown presentation for the 7th grade.
Teen Sexual Health: Grade 8 - February 6, 2020
This science-based health program provides students with straightforward information about sexuality and its risks, including teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease (STD). Students explore the psycho-social, economic, and academic outcomes of teen parenthood as well as the consequences of an STD. Educators teach skills for making responsible sexual choices based on the program content.
Program Goals: Students will…
· Increase their knowledge about human reproductive anatomy and the impact of sexual activity on a teenager’s well-being (physically, mentally and socially).
· Feel empowered to take personal responsibility for increasing their total wellness (including sexual health) and to increase student disapproval of risky sexual activity.
· Develop strategies and tools to make healthy decisions and explore alternatives to sexual activity.

The Office Ladies . . .
Is your child missing Invisiline retainers?
Contact Mrs. Moran at rmoran@d57.org. She's got two retainers that have found their way to the front office.
Is your child missing Wireless Air Pods?
Many students returned after winter break with Air Pods. Lately, students have come to the office asking if the office ladies can help find their Air Pods. Unfortunately, we are unable to help in this regard. Thank you for your understanding.
