Fundraiser Pickup - our fundraiser items and student prizes will be delivered on Thursday, November 29th. They will be available after school in our Gym. Please make plans to come and pick up items following dismissal!


Winter Clothing: Our goal is to have our students outside as much as possible. If the temperature is above zero (actual or with wind chill), we will be enjoying the winter weather! Please make sure children are dressed appropriately for the weather. When there is snow on the ground, students will need snow pants and boots. If you need assistance with winter gear, please contact the office at 553.2950 and we are happy to help!


Student Led Fundraising Two students are having a fundraiser for House of Hope November 19-30.  If you are interested, families may send donations such as adult or children hygiene products, diapers, wipes, or children’s books.  They will also be selling items.


Wacky Winterfest is coming! Please mark your calendars for Saturday, February 16th from 11 AM to 2 PM for this family fun event! If you would like to help by donating time or items, please contact Mr. Bryant! Also, please remember all are welcome at our PALS meetings which happen the second Monday of each month.


This is a friendly reminder that our students should arrive at Lincoln after 8:30 AM. Our staff are not on duty before this time and we want to be sure our students are safe! In addition, please make sure that you follow the dismissal plans you shared with staff at Backpack Night. Our staff appreciate the chance to prepare for the next day when our students are picked up in a timely manner. Last, if you choose to allow your students to play on the playground after dismissal, they should be under your direct supervision. This ensures that all students are safe! Thank you!
