Wrapping Up a Wonderful Year
This school year has gone by so quickly. I can't believe we are in our final week! We have had fun and learned so much along the way. I want to thank all of our families, students, and staff for the support and patience you've shown over the past ten months. We've had many successes and a few challenges, but through it all, we've kept the focus on ensuring high levels of learning for our students in a safe, supportive environment.
I would like to express my gratitude to you all and look forward to a future of successful partnerships with you. To our PTO board and members, I want to give a special thanks. You have worked tirelessly to ensure that no matter what needs were expressed, you were able to support our staff and students. Your outpouring of support has made a difference for our school community, making us stronger and better. To our families, thank you for working alongside us to educate your children. Your patience, support, and open communication mean more than you know. We could not do our jobs without you.
I want to thank our hard-working and dedicated staff who have gone above and beyond to meet each and every student where they were, find their strengths, and build up on those strengths to help them find success. The students' academic and social growth on our campus is astounding. I cannot wait to share all of the results with you when we return in the summer, after we have time to fully analyze them. The preliminary results from our end-of-year assessments show that the hard work from our students and staff is really paying off. Our staff worked tirelessly to provide rich and engaging experiences for our students, fostering a sense of fun and wonder along with the development of their academics and social skills. For this and so much more, we are grateful.
Finally, I want to congratulate our Lincoln Elementary students for persevering through a challenging year. You inspire me daily and push me to want to be better both personally and professionally. You are my "why." Be sure to spend time with your loved ones this summer, enjoy your time off, be safe, and READ! I look forward to seeing you in August. For those of you who are moving on to sixth grade or new places, I wish you all the best. You will always be part of our Lincoln history and will always be a Lincoln Bear!
Good luck to Lincoln Elementary's Global-Bound Destination Imagination Team

End of Year Celebrations
We are excited to celebrate our students' work and good character demonstrated throughout the 2021-2022 school year. For our fifth graders, we will be recognizing their step up to sixth grade in a ceremony on Wednesday, May 25, at 9:00 in the cafeteria. Our kindergarteners will celebrate the completion of what for many was their first year in school on Thursday, May 26, at 9:00 in the cafeteria. Families are invited. These two ceremonies will each last around 30 minutes.
Other grade levels will have their end-of-year classroom recognition events in their classrooms. Parents are invited to these celebrations as well, but are asked to limit the number of attendees to two family members per student due to space constraints.
