Lincoln Families and Friends,

“Work hard, play hard” is the unofficial motto for October at Lincoln School.

As I walk through Lincoln hallways it is so exciting to see our students engaged in learning. Students are working hard and learning routines. They are reading books and practicing math problems. They are learning how to work collaboratively and independently. They are truly “working hard.”

We also believe students need time to build relationships and have some fun. A recent example of “playing hard” is the day at Manthey Park playing at the We All Play Playground and Miracle Field. The PE Department set up this field trip for all students and each grade had an hour to play at the park. I was able to go with 2nd and 5th grade and it was a joy to see so many smiles and hear the sounds of kids having fun with friends. There will be another fun day on October 28th when the PE department sets up the Lincoln Maze in the large gym. This is also the day many classrooms will have a Fall Celebration. The student council is planning a dress up day to correspond with the Lincoln Maze on Friday. Students are invited to dress like a teacher/adult while the staff will be dressing like students.

We look forward to seeing families at fall conferences in November. The link to sign up is included in this newsletter. Have you been looking for other opportunities to get involved with the school? If so, we have two positions available at Lincoln School for Educational Assistants. EAs (Educational Assistants), support students in the classroom and at lunch and recess. We are also looking for substitute teachers and paras to support our school. If you or someone you know is interested, please contact me.

Best Regards,

Mrs. Hawkins, Lincoln Principal
