From the Health Office:
Dental Exams:
A friendly reminder to all kindergarten and 2nd grade parents: your student is required to have a proof of dental exam on file in the health office. Dental exam forms are due by May 15, 2018. Forms can be found on the district website under Health Services or in the Lincoln health office.
Clothes Needed:
The health office is running low on pants to share with students who find themselves wet or muddy. We could use donations of clean, gentle used pants. Elastic waist pants work best (athletic pants, sweatpants, leggings). A variety of sizes are needed from size 5/6 to 14/16 for both boys and girls. Donations of new underwear in all sizes is needed as well. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Dine-Out Night
Thank you to everyone who ate at Houlihan's the Thursday before Spring Break. Together we raised a grand total of $107.66!
Mark your calendars as our next Dine-Out Night will be Tues, April 17 from 4-10pm at PDQ. Dine-in or Drive-Thru, tell the team member you're supporting Lincoln when you place your order & 20% of your purchase will be donated to Lincoln.
Do you prefer the traditional ranch, honey mustard, or honey bbq sauce with your nuggets & tenders? Why not try buffalo bleu or sweet sriracha? Don't want nuggets or tenders? PDQ has several delicious salads & sandwiches to choose from. Don't forget the hand-spun shakes and sides!
